Aprašymas

Four true stories of unexplained deaths and disappearances from Kentucky's past.



Historians are like detectives--and some historical events are like cold cases that haven't been solved yet. This concise, clearly written book presents the stories of four mysteries of Kentucky history:

- The disappearance of James Harrod, who told his wife he was going hunting in 1792 and never returned
- The unknown fate of "Honest Dick" Tate, the nineteenth-century Kentucky State Treasurer who ran off with a fortune in stolen funds
- The battlefield death of Indian chief Tecumseh
- The assassination of William Goebel, who died four days after being sworn in as governor

In this enjoyable trip through the past, Kentucky State Historian James Klotter offers clues--but leaves the solutions to the reader.
