- 1:00Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about that in a second.
- 1:02Speaker 1: But first, and I know we've always been impacted. Everybody
- 1:04Speaker 1: has been impacted by at least one person in a
- 1:07Speaker 1: life profoundly so and in terms of my education, and
- 1:10Speaker 1: I've given this guy lots of props over the year.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Is Chuck Berkholt, who's my government professor back in high school.
- 1:15Speaker 1: He really motivated you to think and engage. Socratic method
- 1:19Speaker 1: was a lot of what he used in class. He's
- 1:22Speaker 1: one of the reasons, well less than my father, but
- 1:24Speaker 1: one of the reasons I really took a keen interest
- 1:26Speaker 1: in politics. And he asked me to make this announcement
- 1:29Speaker 1: because he lives over in Cleeves. It's the Village of

- 2:06Speaker 1: a very successful event now over the Magical History Tour.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I saw the synopsis on this the first time I've
- 2:14Speaker 1: even seen the book. It's in my hand right now.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Thank you Peter for signing my copy. This is five
- 2:20Speaker 1: short stories. Now you've done other books and you elaborate
- 2:23Speaker 1: and you go on at length about some period in history,
- 2:25Speaker 1: early days in Ohio, northern Kentucky. Oh Man, did we
- 2:30Speaker 1: learn a lot about the Civil War?
- 2:31Speaker 2: It was amazing book. I loved it. Man who saved Cincinnati? This?
- 2:37Speaker 1: And when I call a book a bathroom book, I
- 2:40Speaker 1: use that as a compliment because you can kind of
- 2:42Speaker 1: pick it up through part of it. You're not writing
- 2:44Speaker 1: an entire novel, and you're done with that segment, so
- 2:47Speaker 1: we can kind of call it this. Maybe the stories
- 2:49Speaker 1: are a little longer than your traditional bathroom book, but
- 2:52Speaker 1: five different stories. So how did you like whittle it
- 2:57Speaker 1: down or how'd you come up with these stories?
- 2:58Speaker 2: Because they're the the details.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I have a really fascinating and kind of strange too,
- 3:03Speaker 1: like the first serial killer in Cincinnati, Yeah, who knew?
- 3:08Speaker 3: That's kind of the theme or the niche I have
- 3:10Speaker 3: is who knew? Who knew that Cincinnati was attacked by Confederates?
- 3:14Speaker 3: Who knew the first serial killer in Cincinnati was a woman,
- 3:19Speaker 3: and in nineteen thirty eight, and she probably killed more
- 3:21Speaker 3: than a dozen people before they caught her. And the
- 3:24Speaker 3: story of her trial is fascinating one of the things
- 3:27Speaker 3: that's a good highlight of how these stories work and
- 3:30Speaker 3: how one leads to another. So while I'm researching her,
- 3:33Speaker 3: I looked at the prosecutor or handled her case. I thought,
- 3:36Speaker 3: this guy sounds kind of interesting, So I dive in
- 3:39Speaker 3: and look at him. His name was Dudley out Cault.
- 3:42Speaker 3: The out Cults were a long time, very well known
- 3:45Speaker 3: group of lawyers. They were active in the party and
- 3:48Speaker 3: the politics and as prosecutors and judges.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Well, this guy, it turns out, flew with Eddie Rickenbacker
- 3:55Speaker 1: and World War One.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Oh no, really, yes, And then he was a member
- 3:59Speaker 3: of Rickenbacker pit crew at Indianapolis five hundred races. I mean,
- 4:04Speaker 3: in this you just find one person in Cincinnati history
- 4:07Speaker 3: and I'm going, wow, that could almost be another.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:11Speaker 2: And then I find out not only that, but his father.
- 4:14Speaker 3: One day he dropped his father off at his office
- 4:17Speaker 3: where he had a law office, never saw him again.
- 4:22Speaker 3: He vanished from the streets of Cincinnati. This is a
- 4:25Speaker 3: highly respected, well known leader of the Republican Party in
- 4:29Speaker 3: Cincinnati who just kind of gone in an instant, and
- 4:34Speaker 3: for months they had people that thought they saw him
- 4:37Speaker 3: and so forth. It's just another mystery and that's packed
- 4:41Speaker 3: in there. But the main story there is, of course,
- 4:43Speaker 3: the serial killer.
- 4:45Speaker 1: And this is before the term serial killer existed, right, Yes, yes,
- 4:50Speaker 1: it was never used in relation to her. She was
- 4:53Speaker 1: known as the black Widow.
- 4:55Speaker 3: I'm told that people who work in the Handling County
- 4:58Speaker 3: Prosecutor's office or the police department many are familiar with
- 5:02Speaker 3: this case because it's one that they point to as
- 5:05Speaker 3: one of the more sensational, interesting cases. And it was
- 5:08Speaker 3: really also one of the first cases in America that
- 5:12Speaker 3: was solved with the aid of medical forensics. Cincinnati was
- 5:16Speaker 3: at the forefront the cutting edge of pairing up with
- 5:19Speaker 3: the University of Cincinnati had a division there, a group
- 5:24Speaker 3: that was interested in medical forensics and trying to solve
- 5:27Speaker 3: cold cases and crimes using medicine, and they did in
- 5:30Speaker 3: this case.
- 5:31Speaker 2: It's really a fascinating story.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Now, did that develop into I know we have medical
- 5:36Speaker 1: forensic teams for the police now, but that was this
- 5:39Speaker 1: case instrumental in establishing that as a regular thing.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Yes, it was. It was.
- 5:43Speaker 3: It was the first time that they really applied this
- 5:47Speaker 3: kind of science to a murder investigation, and it was
- 5:50Speaker 3: so successful that that continued. So Cincinnati was really paving
- 5:55Speaker 3: the way for what we know today as CSI.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Well, Harmonica Black would kind of suggest I am mad
- 6:00Speaker 1: and what her modus operandi was, but what she married
- 6:03Speaker 1: guys and then killed them, is that what this is?
- 6:05Speaker 3: Or she would flirt with them, and her victims were
- 6:07Speaker 3: almost always elderly German men, lonely widows, or men who
- 6:14Speaker 3: never married, who were lonesome, and they would tell their friends, Oh,
- 6:18Speaker 3: I've got this new girlfriend.
- 6:20Speaker 2: She's really something.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Before you know it, they've signed over their house, their
- 6:24Speaker 3: savings account, just so sad, and then she would go
- 6:28Speaker 3: cook for them.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Real is their big mistake.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Poison was big, killing people way in the back of
- 6:36Speaker 1: the day.
- 6:36Speaker 3: Absolutely, and you can in her case, she used arsenic,
- 6:40Speaker 3: which is undetectable. You can't smell it, you can't taste
- 6:44Speaker 3: it in food, and so what would happen is these
- 6:47Speaker 3: guys would suddenly.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Get terribly terribly ill.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Oh, the worst way to die, just excruciating and horrible,
- 6:56Speaker 3: and then she'd move on to another victim.
- 6:58Speaker 2: She would have sometimes two victims go at once, no kidding.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know you say that, it's almost as
- 7:05Speaker 1: if I just, you know, I'm talking to Dave had
- 7:06Speaker 1: it with a modern scam, because that kind of stuff
- 7:08Speaker 1: goes on today. They just use artificial intelligence and computer
- 7:12Speaker 1: programs and you know, dating.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Apps to to do this type of thing.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Yeah, And she would have been undetected had she not
- 7:20Speaker 3: poisoned a man who was a shoe repairman, a shoe
- 7:24Speaker 3: salesman downtown in Cincinnati. He owned his own business, another
- 7:28Speaker 3: elderly German man, and she got talked to him into
- 7:32Speaker 3: going to Denver, Colorado with her, and on the way
- 7:35Speaker 3: out on the train, she poisoned him as well. And
- 7:37Speaker 3: the people in Denver noticed when he got off the
- 7:39Speaker 3: train that she was taking care of him, and then
- 7:41Speaker 3: she later claims she never knew him, so they got interested. Well,
- 7:46Speaker 3: I'm not going to give away more, no, no, no,
- 7:47Speaker 3: it's really a fascinating story of the detective work and
- 7:51Speaker 3: the trial.
- 7:52Speaker 2: So it's a little bit of a courtroom procedural too.
- 7:55Speaker 1: All right, and that would be the fourth story in
- 7:58Speaker 1: the book, Big Tom and the Black Wooden. Big Tom
- 8:01Speaker 1: that the lawyer you're referring to.
- 8:02Speaker 3: No, Big Tom was the detective and he was one
- 8:05Speaker 3: of Cincinnati's most famous detectives. There's probably nobody can touch
- 8:09Speaker 3: him for the number of cases he handled and solved.
- 8:13Speaker 1: He was just an amazing guy. Tom Ferger, how about that? Well,
- 8:17Speaker 1: learn about Big Tom in the Black Widow. The name
- 8:19Speaker 1: of the book Magical Mystery Tour Murder, Mystery, Buried History,

- 10:24Speaker 3: So Resurrection Man. One of the things that's fun about
- 10:27Speaker 3: short stories is I got to explore a bunch of
- 10:29Speaker 3: different styles. So I have a courtroom procedural, I have
- 10:33Speaker 3: a murder mystery. I have an adventure in out west
- 10:36Speaker 3: on the Oregon Trail I have and then this one
- 10:40Speaker 3: would be described more like a horror story like Tales
- 10:43Speaker 3: from the Crypt. Literally Tales from the Crypt, no kidding,
- 10:46Speaker 3: because Back in the eighteen fifties and seventies, grave robbery
- 10:53Speaker 3: was a really big problem. People would plunder graves and
- 10:56Speaker 3: in this case, they robbed the grave of John Scott Harrison,
- 11:02Speaker 3: who was the son of William Henry Harrison, our ninth president.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a huha, This is someone of significance,
- 11:08Speaker 1: and they yes, they took was this for medical research?
- 11:12Speaker 2: I know, to do studies.
- 11:14Speaker 1: It was impossible to get caidavers, so they would rob
- 11:16Speaker 1: the graves and provide them to the medical students.
- 11:19Speaker 3: And usually they would rob the graves of the what
- 11:22Speaker 3: they called the colored cemetery, or they would go to
- 11:25Speaker 3: the poor people's cemetery and the Potter's Field and they
- 11:29Speaker 3: would take those because most people were too they didn't
- 11:31Speaker 3: have influence ors significance enough to complain and make it stick.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Or in the case of Potter's Field, no money, but
- 11:37Speaker 1: also maybe no living or available relatives to even make
- 11:39Speaker 1: a claim over the body, so no wrinkles that are
- 11:42Speaker 1: going to follow up.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Yeah, so they would actually rob these bodies.
- 11:45Speaker 3: In this case, this was not only the son of
- 11:48Speaker 3: a president, but he was the father of another president,
- 11:50Speaker 3: Benjamin Harrison. So he is the son and the father
- 11:54Speaker 3: of US presidents, and they robbed his grave on the
- 11:56Speaker 3: very night he was buried.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Well, didn't you have to get him close time to death?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Otherwise you're just bringing in a rotting.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Exactly, if you're right, They tried to get him fresh,
- 12:07Speaker 3: as they would put it.
- 12:09Speaker 2: In this case.
- 12:10Speaker 3: You know, a little side note of this was it
- 12:11Speaker 3: answered a question I've often had when I went through
- 12:14Speaker 3: cemeteries or drove by them about those little mausoleums that
- 12:18Speaker 3: looked like little banks. Oh you had the bars on
- 12:21Speaker 3: the windows and everything. Well that was because of grave robbery.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Oh wow.
- 12:25Speaker 3: You know, so you would fortify when you put somebody
- 12:29Speaker 3: to rest, You would try as much as to your
- 12:32Speaker 3: ability to fortify that and make it impossible to steal
- 12:35Speaker 3: the corpse. In this case, they hired the Pinkerton Agency
- 12:39Speaker 3: out of Chicago to try and find out what happened
- 12:42Speaker 3: to John Scott Harrison, and they traced it to a
- 12:47Speaker 3: report that came in in the newspaper that that very night,
- 12:51Speaker 3: around three am, a wagon pulled up in front of
- 12:55Speaker 3: the Ohio Medical School and unloaded a long sheet wrapped object.
- 13:02Speaker 3: So the son of John Scott Harrison goes to the
- 13:06Speaker 3: Ohio Medical School.
- 13:08Speaker 2: They finally find his body and it's hanging in this
- 13:12Speaker 2: shaft with a winch where they would bring it up
- 13:15Speaker 2: from the ground floor seven stories up, and it's hanging
- 13:19Speaker 2: there on a rope hidden in the shaft.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Well, okay, he'll be out of this. They did that
- 13:24Speaker 1: and hung him in a shaft for the purpose of
- 13:26Speaker 1: hiding the presence of the body. Yes, there's no other
- 13:29Speaker 1: reason for the seven story Okay.
- 13:32Speaker 3: So when you go up these stories in the Ohio
- 13:35Speaker 3: Medical College, which is would have been right about next
- 13:38Speaker 3: to the Cincinnatian Hotel it is today and in fact,
- 13:42Speaker 3: well anyway, I don't want to get distracted here, but okay,
- 13:45Speaker 3: So there they find this body hanging in the shaft,
- 13:48Speaker 3: and his own son discovered it, and it was so grizzly.
- 13:51Speaker 3: He had been stripped of his clothes, he had been
- 13:54Speaker 3: bled out, so they had cut his neck and so forth,
- 13:59Speaker 3: and just hanging there. And when they get up to
- 14:00Speaker 3: the seventh floor, I mean, the scene was just appalling
- 14:04Speaker 3: because they would keep thats of these body parts around
- 14:08Speaker 3: and corpses much longer than really was hygienic or safe.
- 14:14Speaker 3: And the stench, oh my gosh, it would knock you
- 14:19Speaker 3: right over. And they described that when they got up
- 14:22Speaker 3: there to find the body, and.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Those are the conditions that the.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Decompositions and doctors would work in or surrounded by that stench.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Not horrible.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Oh, they had lost any kind of respect for the dead, right,
- 14:39Speaker 3: They just abused these corpses and just treated them horribly.
- 14:43Speaker 2: And that was exposed.
- 14:45Speaker 3: And you know, during these periods in the eighteen hundreds,
- 14:48Speaker 3: they were not unusual to see riots in big cities
- 14:51Speaker 3: when people would find out that their loved one was
- 14:53Speaker 3: in the medical college without permission. And it happened in
- 14:57Speaker 3: New York City where a man was walking down the
- 14:59Speaker 3: street and they actually doing a dissection in the window
- 15:02Speaker 3: of the medical college there, and it was his wife
- 15:05Speaker 3: who had just died. Oh, my lord, and he found
- 15:08Speaker 3: that and they had a riot and they burned that
- 15:10Speaker 3: medical college. So this was this was outrageous and it
- 15:14Speaker 3: was a huge scandal in Cincinnati. But it's also a
- 15:16Speaker 3: story of this vast network of grave robbery that was
- 15:22Speaker 3: going on in Cincinnati, and they were supplying bodies all
- 15:25Speaker 3: over Ohio, but also up in Michigan to ann Arbor.
- 15:28Speaker 3: The University of Michigan was getting its corpses for their
- 15:31Speaker 3: medical school from Cincinnati.
- 15:32Speaker 1: So it was a regional organized crime unit designed to
- 15:35Speaker 1: get medical students dead bodies exactly.
- 15:38Speaker 3: And not only that, the grave robbers would also strip
- 15:41Speaker 3: the bodies, and this is really kind of icky. They
- 15:43Speaker 3: would sell the clothes, so if you went to go
- 15:47Speaker 3: buy bargain clothes, you might be walking around in something
- 15:52Speaker 3: that was only hours before worn by a corpse.
- 15:55Speaker 1: I read all about it in the name of the
- 15:57Speaker 1: book Magical History Tour. We got more with Bronson in
- 16:01Speaker 1: a studio be right back after I mentioned Colin Electric
- 16:03Speaker 1: twenty five percent off right now, you know. And this
- 16:06Speaker 1: disturbs me because it's out of Cullen's hands. But apparently
- 16:09Speaker 1: someone had the genius of changing the codes for service
- 16:12Speaker 1: upgrades last year in the Spring, which, as Andrew Cullins says,
- 16:17Speaker 1: exponentially drove up the cost of service upgrade. So if
- 16:20Speaker 1: you got yourself an EV, you're gonna need a service upgrade,
- 16:22Speaker 1: get that charger in your garage, or whatever reason you
- 16:25Speaker 1: might need a service upgrade. There are other reasons, but
- 16:28Speaker 1: you get a twenty five percent discount if you act
- 16:30Speaker 1: this month. The sales over at the end of the month.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Twenty five percent discount on the new service for your home,
- 16:36Speaker 1: twenty five off the total job cost, which can save you,
- 16:39Speaker 1: I guess thousands of dollars call the power up your
- 16:42Speaker 1: holidays sales, so great savings on That discount is applicable
- 16:45Speaker 1: to above or below ground residential single family service of
- 16:48Speaker 1: four hundred amps or less, and it extends to breaker
- 16:51Speaker 1: panel and main service upgrades only. And of course you
- 16:54Speaker 1: get that famous ten year Cullen wiring warranty for any
- 16:57Speaker 1: I mean any electric project. You're gonna get that from
- 16:59Speaker 1: the good friend Colin. Customer service is great and the
- 17:01Speaker 1: price is always great, and of course with twenty five
- 17:03Speaker 1: percent off, you know it's right, so act now get
- 17:06Speaker 1: in touch with them. One of two ways go to

- 17:40Speaker 1: bonus segment at the end. We're talking about that it's

- 17:51Speaker 1: Get a glimpse at that toward the end of this discussion.
- 17:54Speaker 1: But let's talk about a snake in the garden.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Peter.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Oh, that was a lot of fun too. So a
- 17:59Speaker 3: long time ago I visited because I was working at
- 18:02Speaker 3: the Inquirer at the time, I think. And I visited
- 18:05Speaker 3: the Whitewater Shaker Village because they were just then beginning
- 18:08Speaker 3: the restoration of it, and it was fascinating to see
- 18:12Speaker 3: how these people lived. For example, when you go to
- 18:16Speaker 3: their cemetery, which is right down the road from the
- 18:19Speaker 3: village where they live. The Shakers, they had the cemetery
- 18:22Speaker 3: and it's probably i don't know, three acres, two acres.
- 18:25Speaker 2: It's pretty big cemetery.
- 18:27Speaker 3: There's only a dozen graves there and You're like, what
- 18:30Speaker 3: is going on here? Well, they believed in celibacy, and
- 18:34Speaker 3: they really didn't think ahead that you don't populate a
- 18:38Speaker 3: cemetery if you don't populate the children in the you know,
- 18:43Speaker 3: in the village.
- 18:44Speaker 1: I was Communists believed in the celibacy.
- 18:47Speaker 3: Okay, this is this is an amazing thing. Funny you
- 18:49Speaker 3: should bring that up because in the middle of this
- 18:51Speaker 3: cemetery it says the Whitewater Shaker Cemetery is dedicated to
- 18:55Speaker 3: a community of celibate Christian Communists.
- 18:59Speaker 2: And yes, and this was.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Put up in nineteen I had the god, folks, I
- 19:03Speaker 1: did not know that you really said that. Oh you
- 19:07Speaker 1: nailed it back then. See what happens.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Yeah, Communism kind of meant something else then, because Marx
- 19:13Speaker 3: and Angles were just be kind of catching this contract.
- 19:17Speaker 2: This was a communal living.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Like they thought that there would be utopias if everybody
- 19:21Speaker 3: shared everything. So in the Shaker village they really practiced
- 19:24Speaker 3: that along with celibacy. So here's a funny little thing.
- 19:29Speaker 3: In their dormitory they had the women's sleeping arrangements at
- 19:34Speaker 3: the west end or the east end, and the men
- 19:37Speaker 3: at the west end, and just a hallway between them. Well,
- 19:41Speaker 3: you know, you'd think for the trials of celibacy, you'd
- 19:44Speaker 3: at least put them on separate floors.
- 19:46Speaker 1: But no, it sounds like it invites a panty raid.
- 19:49Speaker 2: You were gonna go raid the women's Storm tonight.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting that one of the rooms in the
- 19:54Speaker 3: Women's Storm had locks on both sides of the door.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Oh all right, yeah, they anticipated that might happen.
- 20:00Speaker 3: And there's also a story I found that they used
- 20:03Speaker 3: to spread flower on the floor in the hallway, so
- 20:07Speaker 3: if anybody walked from one dorm to the other, they
- 20:10Speaker 3: would leave tracks and the next morning you'd see which
- 20:14Speaker 3: which bet they went to.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Well, no wonder they aren't around anymore. Not only you
- 20:18Speaker 1: had the whole celibacy. They're working against them. That's not
- 20:20Speaker 1: exactly a marketing scheme that's going to, you know, bring
- 20:23Speaker 1: in the fellow travelers, as it were.
- 20:25Speaker 3: But if you take a look at the Shakers, they
- 20:27Speaker 3: were really in a lot of ways during that period,
- 20:29Speaker 3: and especially around the Civil War, they were the only
- 20:33Speaker 3: safety net or social safety net we had because there
- 20:35Speaker 3: was no homes for widows and orphans, there were no
- 20:39Speaker 3: places that no social security, but the Shakers for widows
- 20:43Speaker 3: and orphans and women who had gotten in trouble or
- 20:47Speaker 3: what what what we'd called today back then they would.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Call violate, violated the celibacy rule.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Yeah, so they would be taken in by the Shakers.
- 20:56Speaker 3: So whole families were taken in. And there's another fascinating
- 21:01Speaker 3: story about the Millerites, which is a diversion, but it's
- 21:05Speaker 3: in the book. And this was a cult in the
- 21:08Speaker 3: eighteen hundreds that followed a man named Miller who believed
- 21:12Speaker 3: that he knew the exact day and date of Christ's return.
- 21:16Speaker 3: And they sold all of their property, gave away everything,
- 21:20Speaker 3: their farms, their clothes, everything, and they all went out
- 21:23Speaker 3: to a hill. And this happened in Cincinnati. They all
- 21:25Speaker 3: went out to a hill and waited for the second coming,
- 21:28Speaker 3: and waited and waited, and nothing happened. Really, And so
- 21:33Speaker 3: I think I would have read about it if you had.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:36Speaker 3: So now they are destitute and homeless. So where did
- 21:39Speaker 3: they go? They shaded the Shaker village, suckers. So what's
- 21:45Speaker 3: the snake in the garden part? Well, I don't want
- 21:49Speaker 3: you to be too revealing. No, obviously came up with
- 21:51Speaker 3: this chapter title for a reason. Yes, there's a fascinating
- 21:55Speaker 3: mystery about two women who were banished from the Shaker
- 21:59Speaker 3: village because of failure to observe the celibacy rule, and
- 22:04Speaker 3: they had two together. The two women, it was a
- 22:07Speaker 3: mother and daughter both In all the news stories and
- 22:11Speaker 3: so forth, the accounts at the time remarked that they
- 22:14Speaker 3: were both strikingly beautiful and they had come to Cincinnati
- 22:19Speaker 3: after they were banished from Whitewater Village and after about
- 22:23Speaker 3: a week they were found dead in a hotel room
- 22:26Speaker 3: in downtown Cincinnati. Uh huh, So the mystery around that is, okay,
- 22:31Speaker 3: what happened? Wow, Well, there was a man who was
- 22:35Speaker 3: taken in by the Shaker village who was a drunk,
- 22:39Speaker 3: a total wasttroll, a scoundrel. But he came from a
- 22:42Speaker 3: very wealthy Cincinnati family. And there's your snake in the garden.
- 22:47Speaker 1: All about that, I was going to charge you try
- 22:49Speaker 1: to draw a Bernie Sanders parallel, because apparently he lived
- 22:52Speaker 1: in an ashram or a commune and he was the
- 22:54Speaker 1: lazy guy that never did anything that they kicked him out.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Well, that describes this guy too.
- 22:59Speaker 1: He preaches the hospital of this communal lifestyle. But then
- 23:02Speaker 1: like all communes, it all fails because no one wants
- 23:05Speaker 1: to step up to the plate and pull their weight.
- 23:06Speaker 2: And there's always communism.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Yes, and there's always some leech that's just parasite, that's
- 23:11Speaker 3: just riding along.
- 23:12Speaker 2: H Bernie Sanders. Yeah, well that describes this guy too.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Except I don't think we could give him credit for
- 23:18Speaker 1: murdering anybody, at least not that I know about. More
- 23:22Speaker 1: with Peter Burns, and I like scratching the surface of
- 23:24Speaker 1: this because this obviously it feeds the curiosity element which
- 23:28Speaker 1: will get books sold. But it's well worth the small
- 23:31Speaker 1: amount of money going to pay get Peter's book and
- 23:33Speaker 1: again the excellent Christmas gift seven thirty five. Right now,
- 23:37Speaker 1: we'll be right back more with Peter Broynch. And after
- 23:39Speaker 1: I mention QC kinetics as if you're living with pain,
- 23:41Speaker 1: you might not have to live with pain anymore. How
- 23:43Speaker 1: about curing the source of the pain. I think arthritis pain,
- 23:47Speaker 1: but it could be other kind of pain. QC kinetics
- 23:49Speaker 1: does that, and thousands of patients have experienced the relief
- 23:53Speaker 1: brought about by their own bodies natural regenitive power. Yes,
- 23:56Speaker 1: they extract from your body the ultimately boil down to
- 24:01Speaker 1: platelet rich plasma and through a different series of these injections,
- 24:06Speaker 1: it helps your body heal itself, not cover up the pain,
- 24:10Speaker 1: but actually heal it, repairing the damaged tissue, reducing information,
- 24:15Speaker 1: and of course relieving the pain right at its source.
- 24:17Speaker 1: It isn't science fiction. That's your body's comeback story, powered
- 24:20Speaker 1: by the various culls that built you in the first place.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Now will this work for you? I don't know. QC
- 24:27Speaker 1: Kinetics will be happy to sit down with you for free,
- 24:29Speaker 1: and so I said it's free. Take the time to
- 24:31Speaker 1: give them a call and schedule the aployment. Because if
- 24:32Speaker 1: you're living with this kind of pain, you know, like
- 24:34Speaker 1: you get out of bed in the morning and it
- 24:35Speaker 1: begins with pain and you can't do things because it's pain.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Don't have to go down that road anymore. Maybe talk
- 24:41Speaker 1: to him and find out if it's right for you.
- 24:42Speaker 1: So five one three eight four seven zero zero one

- 25:18Speaker 1: a riot talking about the various stories, five different stories,
- 25:22Speaker 1: all based upon local folks or local connections, and then
- 25:26Speaker 1: we find out that some of them extend out west.
- 25:29Speaker 1: You mentioned that earlier when we were talking about that.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Which which chapter is that one?
- 25:33Speaker 2: Is that? That's the one.
- 25:34Speaker 1: It's called Rifles at forty Paces.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Rifles at forty Paces? Good, thank you. Yeah, that's the
- 25:41Speaker 3: story of a man from Wilmington, Ohio who hopped on
- 25:45Speaker 3: the Oregon Trail, which was an incredible life threatening adventure.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Can imagine in itself period indians, disease, deserts parched, starving,
- 25:58Speaker 3: everything you can think of.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure it was so comfortable ride in
- 26:03Speaker 1: a Conestoga wagon.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Well yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah. And he led the
- 26:08Speaker 3: wagon train to northern California for the gold rush in
- 26:11Speaker 3: eighteen fifty. So he went out for the gold rush.
- 26:14Speaker 3: He fought an amazing duel against a newspaper editor, which
- 26:18Speaker 3: kind of I thought that was a special a former
- 26:22Speaker 3: editor myself. And this editor just didn't know when to quit.
- 26:26Speaker 3: He kept insulting this guy in his editorials, and he
- 26:28Speaker 3: just kept doing.
- 26:29Speaker 2: It and doing it.
- 26:31Speaker 3: It's a political thing, and so this guy becomes such
- 26:35Speaker 3: a heroic figure that he actually the city of Denver, Colorado,
- 26:42Speaker 3: is named after him, and he named the state of Montana.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Really.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Yes, he was governor of the Kansas Territory in the
- 26:51Speaker 3: eighteen late eighteen fifties during the time they call Bleeding
- 26:55Speaker 3: Kansas now as a run up to the Civil War.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Bleeding Kansas was like a dress rehearsal. It was all
- 27:02Speaker 3: about abolition.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Oh I'm serious, old brother.
- 27:06Speaker 2: I never heard that term.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Unbelievable, terrible, terrible violence. Okay, here's the Outlaw Josie Wales
- 27:12Speaker 3: the movie.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Yes, I've seen that. That is about this period.
- 27:15Speaker 3: And Josie Wales was in the Battle of Bleeding Kansas
- 27:18Speaker 3: that went on for years. So if we look at
- 27:21Speaker 3: Bleeding Kansas and we draw some parallels. I didn't necessarily
- 27:24Speaker 3: do this in the story, but if you wanted to,
- 27:26Speaker 3: you can draw parallels to see what's going on in
- 27:29Speaker 3: our country today. You might say, well, Portland, Oregon kind
- 27:33Speaker 3: of looks like what bleeding Kansas looked like. People were
- 27:36Speaker 3: burning each other's farms, they were raiding, they were killing
- 27:39Speaker 3: each other. They were just completely out of control all
- 27:43Speaker 3: over the issue of slavery. Because Kansas was going to
- 27:46Speaker 3: be a new state, and the abolitionists wanted it to
- 27:49Speaker 3: be a free state, of course, and the people from
- 27:52Speaker 3: Missouri who had already gotten statehood and wanted it to
- 27:55Speaker 3: be a slave state like them. So the Missourians came
- 27:59Speaker 3: up and they fought the abolitionists, and most of the
- 28:01Speaker 3: abolitionists were from northeastern states. And one of those abolitionists
- 28:06Speaker 3: was a man everybody knows about, John Brown, oh sure.
- 28:10Speaker 3: And he was a cold blooded psychopath. He was unbelievable.
- 28:16Speaker 3: He committed massacres and murders like you wouldn't believe, and
- 28:20Speaker 3: people glorified and made him a hero.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Not unlike what we've done in our own.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Culture today, with people who are really in many ways despicable,
- 28:30Speaker 3: live a horrible life, and yet because the way they
- 28:33Speaker 3: die in the politics around it, we lift them up
- 28:35Speaker 3: as some kind of mythical hero.
- 28:37Speaker 2: And that's what happened with John Brown. No kidding, Yeah.
- 28:42Speaker 4: You know that.
- 28:44Speaker 1: I guess on some level I can understand. But you know,
- 28:46Speaker 1: the idea of murdering your neighbors over it is a
- 28:50Speaker 1: human rights, of course issue, a profound one, and you know,
- 28:54Speaker 1: understanding and embracing humanity, But that you would go out
- 28:57Speaker 1: and murder someone over this set farms on fire, it's just.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Well, and you know, we kind of tend to look
- 29:04Speaker 3: back and people like this version of history that's popular
- 29:07Speaker 3: and in schools and colleges now, which is that you know,
- 29:11Speaker 3: abolitions are good guys, Confederates bad guys, and this and that,
- 29:15Speaker 3: you know, it's all very black and white.
- 29:18Speaker 2: No, it wasn't.
- 29:19Speaker 3: Some of the abolitionists were the scariest, most brutal people, terrorists,
- 29:25Speaker 3: they were psychopaths.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Well, okay, let me pose this to you. Fine, they
- 29:30Speaker 1: believe in abolishing slavery. There's a multitude of reasons why
- 29:33Speaker 1: someone might embrace that. Would someone, let's say, John Brown,
- 29:37Speaker 1: embrace that as a philosophy and as a primary motivating
- 29:44Speaker 1: force and factor in their life for the purpose of
- 29:46Speaker 1: an excuse to commit violence. That he's a psychopath.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he was.
- 29:52Speaker 1: Like I believe out there in the world, somebody decided
- 29:54Speaker 1: to go through maybe being becoming a priest because they
- 29:58Speaker 1: could be around little children. If somebody wants to be
- 30:00Speaker 1: a teacher because they can be around little children, it
- 30:02Speaker 1: isn't because they're really truly motivated by the you know,
- 30:05Speaker 1: the Christian doctrine, or because they're motivated to be educators.
- 30:10Speaker 1: They want access to kids. Absolutely, So if they want
- 30:13Speaker 1: to kill, if this guy wants to has passion for
- 30:15Speaker 1: killing people, I'm an anti slavery guy. I'm an abolitionists. Okay,
- 30:18Speaker 1: go ahead and do it well. In this story, the
- 30:20Speaker 1: hero of the story is James W. Denver from Wilmington, Ohio.
- 30:24Speaker 1: City of Denver's named after him.
- 30:26Speaker 3: His arch rival enemy is a guy who was exactly
- 30:29Speaker 3: what you described he became. He kind of played both sides,
- 30:33Speaker 3: but mainly he was just a bloodthirsty raider. He would
- 30:36Speaker 3: raid and burn farms so that he could take him
- 30:38Speaker 3: for his own property and add him to his political power. Oh,
- 30:41Speaker 3: like the Crusaders, Yes, and so, But there were other people.
- 30:44Speaker 3: I think John Brown was just nuts. I think he
- 30:48Speaker 3: was crazy. He went around killing people in the name
- 30:50Speaker 3: of God. That is just where they struggle with.
- 30:54Speaker 2: That is nuts.
- 30:55Speaker 3: And they thought that God was on their side so
- 30:58Speaker 3: they could do anything they please. And both sides were
- 31:01Speaker 3: unbelievably cruel and brutal.
- 31:03Speaker 2: So it was kind of like the Crusades.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Yeah, Bleeding Kansas was an unbelievable chapter in our history.
- 31:08Speaker 3: And it's all like this many little set piece dress
- 31:13Speaker 3: rehearsal for the Civil War.
- 31:15Speaker 1: We'll get back with Peter Bronson. This is great. Plus

- 34:05Speaker 1: criminal activity packed into twenty four short years. That's a
- 34:08Speaker 1: sad thing. Officer Green, thank you very much for what
- 34:10Speaker 1: you do in and out all the day long, and
- 34:12Speaker 1: thanks to this insant police department for their great work.
- 34:15Speaker 1: We'll be looking for him. Officer Green, thanks for much.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend. It's back to Peter Brunts and
- 34:20Speaker 1: magical History Tour, murder mystery and buried history. You know
- 34:23Speaker 1: before rather than maybe go back into one more of
- 34:27Speaker 1: the snippets about these various stories in here, just elaborating
- 34:31Speaker 1: on it. You and I were talking off the break
- 34:32Speaker 1: because you lose sight when you're talking about the wild West,
- 34:35Speaker 1: and you mentioned that, you know, the duels.
- 34:37Speaker 2: That was all Mike's mic on. Is this Mike on?
- 34:43Speaker 2: It is? Okay?
- 34:44Speaker 1: There you go, all right. I didn't hear it just
- 34:46Speaker 1: the second ago. Yeah, so it was very common. But
- 34:48Speaker 1: the background on that is there wasn't law enforcement. You know,
- 34:51Speaker 1: they weren't sheriffs necessarily around, and if they were, they
- 34:54Speaker 1: weren't going to stop a duel from happening.
- 34:56Speaker 3: And this actually came from Europe. There was something called
- 34:59Speaker 3: the Irish Duello and that was a lengthy thing. It's
- 35:03Speaker 3: like thirty different rules and regulations to set up a duel,
- 35:07Speaker 3: all about the courtesy and manners that surround how you
- 35:11Speaker 3: established it.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Do you murder someone again, you'd properly do it like
- 35:14Speaker 1: the Marcus of Queensbury rules.
- 35:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, well, you know that's funny, you'd bring
- 35:17Speaker 3: that up once again. You nailed it, the Marcus at
- 35:20Speaker 3: Queensbury rules. And boxing was actually introduced in Europe as
- 35:24Speaker 3: a way to settle these disputes without firearms.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Ah.
- 35:28Speaker 3: So there was so much dueling going on and so
- 35:30Speaker 3: many young men being killed that they finally got this idea, well,
- 35:34Speaker 3: let's just resort to fisticuffs and settle it that way.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Apparently a duel could be justified and you just called
- 35:40Speaker 1: somebody a name, oh.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Yeah, especially if you said something that shed poor light
- 35:46Speaker 3: on his girlfriend, or his mother or his sister. Women
- 35:49Speaker 3: were especially held sacrisank. Now think about this in compare
- 35:53Speaker 3: it to today's society. First of all, they had honor.
- 35:57Speaker 3: People were polite, because if you shot off your mouth
- 35:59Speaker 3: about somebody, you could be challenged and dragged into the
- 36:03Speaker 3: street into a duel. And if you if you were
- 36:08Speaker 3: you know, the kind of person who says, nah, I
- 36:10Speaker 3: don't want to do that. I'm sorry. If you back
- 36:13Speaker 3: down after somebody had challenged you, then you were disgraced.
- 36:18Speaker 3: You were just kind of an outcast from society. So
- 36:23Speaker 3: the the amount of honor that people held it in
- 36:27Speaker 3: high regard at that time, it is just something that
- 36:30Speaker 3: probably most of us really can't relate to anymore because
- 36:33Speaker 3: we see what happens in our society today. People do
- 36:37Speaker 3: the most incredibly dishonorable things and then they just say
- 36:40Speaker 3: let's move on, and nobody challenges them.
- 36:44Speaker 2: They are not held accountable. I mean, I don't want
- 36:46Speaker 2: to go back to.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Dulo, He's going to say, veiled suggestion from Peter Brownson,
- 36:50Speaker 1: we bring back dueling.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Well, the Irish code Duello is still there. I cite
- 36:54Speaker 3: most of the some of the rules of dueling in
- 36:57Speaker 3: my book.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Learn all about it. Get a copy of Magical History
- 37:00Speaker 1: to a Murder Mystery and Buried History, and let us
- 37:02Speaker 1: talk very briefly here Peter Browns. And you got a
- 37:04Speaker 1: little extra fun and games going on at the tail
- 37:06Speaker 1: end of the book with ten places to discover in
- 37:09Speaker 1: Cincinnati history. I suppose these relate to the individuals and
- 37:14Speaker 1: points you made factually in the five stories you provide.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Also in my other books, so things like the Man
- 37:21Speaker 3: who Saved Cincinnati. The Low Wallace Study and Museum is
- 37:24Speaker 3: one of those spots. The Pioneer Cemetery is one of
- 37:27Speaker 3: those spots. I didn't even know about that until I
- 37:29Speaker 3: found it down by Lunkin Airport. It's a fascinating little
- 37:33Speaker 3: cemetery where you can find the grave of Major Benjamin Stites,
- 37:37Speaker 3: who was one of the first settlers of Cincinnati in
- 37:41Speaker 3: the seventeen eighties and nineties. And then there's another one
- 37:45Speaker 3: called Congress Green Cemetery, and that's the one where Benjamin Scott,
- 37:50Speaker 3: John Scott Harrison's body was robbed from the grave, and
- 37:54Speaker 3: also the burial place of John Cleeves Simms, who is
- 37:59Speaker 3: sims purchase was all of the land that we stand
- 38:02Speaker 3: on today in Cincinnati.
- 38:03Speaker 2: How about that?
- 38:05Speaker 3: And these are not of course, the museum center is fantastic,
- 38:09Speaker 3: The Art Museum is fantastic, all of these things. I
- 38:11Speaker 3: just wanted to find the little places that are kind
- 38:14Speaker 3: of out of the way. Who knew that these were there?
- 38:18Speaker 3: And that you can find out so much about our
- 38:20Speaker 3: history from this book? Man who knew?
- 38:22Speaker 1: Yeah, Peter Bronson's the man we can thank for now knowing.
- 38:25Speaker 1: If you get a copy of the book, can find
