Description

Dive into the colorful and tumultuous history of Kentucky politics with Berry Craig, author of True Tales of Old-Time Kentucky Politics: Bombast, Bourbon & Burgoo. Did you know that William Goebel of Kentucky remains the only state governor to be assassinated while in office? Or that Abraham Lincoln, now a favorite son of the Bluegrass State, garnered less than 1 percent of the state's vote in 1860? How about Matthew Lyon, the congressman who won reelection from a jail cell and once bit off the thumb of a voter during a brawl on the House floor?
