Life in Louisville in the years following the Civil War, and through the
turn of the century, was as exciting as it was dangerous. The city
continued to grow as important urban hub of culture and commerce,
connecting the South with the Midwest and Northern states. As Keven
McQueen proves in this collection of morbid tales of crime and
depravity, life in Louisville certainly had a darker side. Journey back
to a time when Louisville's streets were filled with rail cars, its
alleys populated by thieves, and its brothels hummed with activity.
Whether it's the tale of the marriage of a convicted murderer to a
notorious prostitute, or the exploits the criminal duo dubbed
Louisville's Bonnie and Clyde, this is a true crime collection that is
truly hard to believe.
