October 1957
Correction
The Apalachin meeting was not in October 1957. It took place on November 14, 1957.
Full reasoning
This date is off by a month. Reliable histories of the Apalachin meeting place it on November 14, 1957, not in October 1957.
- Smithsonian Magazine’s history of the raid says the Mafia leaders met at Joseph Barbara’s home on November 14, 1957.
- The Tioga County Historical Society’s Apalachin history page likewise states that the heads of the American Mafia held the Apalachin Meeting on November 14, 1957.
So the article should say November 1957, not October 1957.
