  • The Mysterious Michigan Stonehenge
    2024/11/05
    Stone circles found in many places in the world are remnants of the Neolithic Age and are predominantly found in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Most people are familiar with Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain in England. It was built about 5,000 years ago and continues to make the curious wonder - who and why. The 300 stone circles found in Britain and Ireland are interesting, and people have been seeking answers about them for thousands of years. But what about a Stonehenge in Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay? A recently discovered Stonehenge on the North American continent is amazing news and fires up a whole new line of inquiry.

  • E. T. Barnette, the man who embezzled the entire town of Fairbanks – AND GOT AWAY WITH IT!
    2024/10/22
    Episode 48: E. T. Barnette, the man who embezzled the entire town of Fairbanks – AND GOT AWAY WITH IT! The citizens of Fairbanks should have been so lucky. Fairbanks, like Juneau and Nome, was founded by accident. In August of 1901, Elbridge Truman Barnette convinced a gullible steamboat captain that his steamship could easily ascend the Tanana River without striking bottom. However, when it became apparent that Barnette did not know what he was talking about, the steamboat captain angrily evicted the protesting Barnette along with 135 tons of his supplies onto the nearest shore - which happened to be on the Chena Slough. As Barnette's supplies were being offloaded, a sourdough by the name of Felix Pedro suddenly appeared on the bank. He had just made a major find in the area and was wondering if Barnette would have any food to sell since he, Pedro, did not want to walk the 360 miles round trip to Circle for supplies. Then and there was established Chenoa City, later to become known as Fairbanks. __________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ Coming Soon! ___________________________________________________ Visit the Christmas Book Bazaar Event on Facebook, Beginning October 22 _______________________________________________________ Check out the Author Masterminds Website ________________________________________________________________ Get to know the authors at The Readers and Writers Book Club ___________________________________________ Meet Steve Levi, Your Host for Episode 48: E.

  • How Many People Did Mary McKnight Murder, and Why?
    2024/10/08
    Episode 47: How Many People Did Mary McKnight Murder, and Why? Accurately recognizing and treating many diseases, including mental illness, was not prevalent in the 19th or early 20th centuries. Rural farm communities were accustomed to injuries and illnesses that often resulted in death. Some deaths could not be explained that’s just the way it was. On Monday, April 20, 1903, Gertrude Murphy left her three-month-old baby, Ruth, in the care of her sister-in-law, Mary McKnight. Gertrude left the baby with Mary to help with work at a new house she and her husband, John Murphy, were building on a nearby piece of land. When Gertrude and John came back at lunch time, Mary told them that baby Ruth had died. Baby Ruth’s death was only the beginning of a cascading series of deaths that resulted in the exposure of a mass murderer living in a little town in northern Michigan.
