Mona Aburmishan and I discuss Chicago's most colorful character. Was he OG militia, a conman or both?
Enjoy this series.
Digressions include:
Seasteading
The Bundy family standoffs.
SHOW NOTES:
In my research, I found many conflicting reports. In some articles people said Streeter had two wives other's said four. Some claimed he was a Civil War veteran other a deserter. As addressed in this episode everything considered to be true about Streeter is incorrect.
Then I found what I consider to be the best researched book.
