Beschreibung

A wild journey through the shady side of Bluegrass politics, from bribe-takers to traitors to treasury raiders.   In 1826, Governor Desha pardoned his own son for murder. In a horrific crime, Governor Goebel was assassinated in 1900. James Wilkinson was branded a traitor against Kentucky and the nation. “Honest Dick Tate” ran away with massive amounts of money from the state treasury. And in modern times, Operation BOPTROT resulted in perhaps the biggest scandal in the state.   At various points in history, Kentucky’s politics and government have been rocked by scandal, and each episode defined the era in which it happened. In this book, Robert Schrage and John Schaaf offer a fascinating account of Kentucky’s history and its many unique and scandalous characters.  Includes photographs
