    146. A Century Ago in Kentucky- December 1924

    Welcome to another installment of 'A Century Ago in Kentucky', where I share some of my favorite newspaper clippings from Kentucky newspapers in 1924. This episode includes stories of prisoners celebrating behind bars, while others are set free in time for the holidays, hundreds of gallons of wine are poured into the sewer by the Feds, plus fires and other accidents, burglars, crossword puzzles, and a special appearance by my great-grandfather! This episode includes clippings from the Louisville Courier-Journal and The Lexington Herald-Leader. This podcast is researched, written, recorded and produced by me, Jessie Bartholomew. To leave me a tip for a cup of coffee, use the following link: https://account.venmo.com/u/kyhistoryhaunts For more on crossword puzzles: https://www.alieward.com/ologies/enigmatology https://time.com/5811396/crossword-history/

    145. Tuberculosis Experiments in Mammoth Cave

    In the 1840s, a doctor from Louisville purchased Mammoth Cave. One of his motives for purchasing the land was to conduct an experiment by inviting tuberculosis patients to live underground during the winter months to cure them. It did not go well. For more on this topic, check out THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH IN THE MAMMOTH CAVE, published in the Bulletin of the History of Medicine, 1971, by Stanley Sides & Harold Malloy.

    144. Floyd Collins- 'Prolific' Cave Explorer

    On a cold January evening in 1925, after a long day of widening an entrance to a newly discovered cave, Floyd Collins lost his footing, knocked over his light, caused a shift in the tunnel and was pinned under a rock. Floyd was hopelessly stuck. Over the next two weeks, miners, geologists, engineers, family members and the Kentucky National Guard worked tirelessly to rescue Floyd. Floyd had passed by the time they reached him, but that wasn't the end of his story. For more information on Floyd Collins, start here: https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/tragedy-at-sand-cave.htm And for photos of his second funeral service, go here: https://westernkentuckyuniversity.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Collins%2C%20Floyd%2C%201887-1925

    143. The Preacher & The Felon- Part 2- Albert Fall

    Albert Bacon Fall, a Kentuckian, was the first US Cabinet member in history to be convicted of a felony. Albert, the grandson of Reverend Phillip Fall, moved out west, practiced law, got into politics and got mixed up with some less than virtuous characters, eventually leading to his involvement in the infamous Teapot Dome Scandal.

    142. The Preacher & The Felon- Part 1- Reverend Phillip Fall

    This is part one of a two part series about the Fall family. Part one discusses the life of Phillip Fall, preacher, teacher, Southern sympathizer. Phillip Fall made connections with major religious figures in Kentucky during the Reformation movement. One of Phillip's sons, William, would later have a son named Albert Fall, who holds the infamous title of being the first U.S. Cabinet member convicted of a felony. Part two will focus on the life of Albert Fall, Phillip's grandson, and let me tell you, it's a very different story. Much of the research from part one was from the Phillip Fall biography written for the Kentucky Historical Society by P. Burnley and from therestorationmovement.com. It is likely I made mistakes in this episode as I am not well versed in the topic of religion.

    141. Who REALLY Murdered Rhonda Sue Warford? (Louisville/Brandenburg)

    In the early 1990s, the Meade County police, Louisville police and Kentucky State police thought they had gotten it right when they arrested Garr Keith Hardin and Jeffrey Clark for the murder of Louisville native Rhonda Sue Warford. It took decades and assistance from the Kentucky Innocence Project to right the wrongs made during the investigation and trial. Let me know what you think.
