Purchased this in Wagner's Pharmacy & Diner.  Picked the place out of the blue, and was surprised beyond belief learning as I entered that it was the same place my Dad took me to 57 years earlier. (Across from Churchill Downs in Kentucky.)  This book centers around life in Louisville in the years following the Civil War, and through the turn of the century 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. This is a true crime collection that is truly hard to believe.
