Patrick ODaniel publishes book on notorious Memphis criminal Diggs Nolen
Patrick O Daniel, executive director of Library Services at 91Ƶ Tennessee Community
College, is celebrating the release of his latest novel.
The book, titled Notorious Memphis Gangster Diggs Nolen, focuses on the life of a criminal well-known in and around Memphis, Tennessee in the 1920s. ODaniel shares information about crimes committed by the infamous outlaw, including Diggs Nolens management of a drug empire and his escape from Leavenworth Prison.
ODaniel has been writing books for several years now.
I started writing articles and books about Memphis history when I worked in the History
Department at the Memphis Public Library in the early 2000s, said ODaniel. I enjoy
sharing stories about the colorful events and people from our city's past.
This latest book release makes ODaniels fifth book release. ODaniel previously authored Crusaders, Gangsters, and Whiskey: Prohibition in Memphis, When the Levee Breaks: Memphis and the Mississippi Valley Flood of 1927, Memphis and the Superflood of 1937, and co-authored a book titled Historic Photos of Memphis with author Gina Cordell.
Congratulations, Patrick!
