Have you ever wondered about the news in 1885? Well, wonder no more. I have read every issue of The Evening Bulletin, Maysville, Kentucky, for that year and compiled the best stories into three volumes for your easy reading pleasure. There is something for everyone: History as it was happening, humor, romance, politics, murder, madness, a peek back into life in all of America, not just Kentucky. What follows is listing of some of the stories you can look forward to reading more about.
Volume 1: JANUARY AND FEBRUARY
• General Grant’s financial and medical problems.
• A duel to the death with billiard balls.
• The death of the first locomotive engineer in the US and a picture of the locomotive.
• The struggles of the Oklahoma Boomers against the government and the cattlemen.
• Men poisoned by a centipede in their coffee.
• The dedication of the Washington Monument.
• An abandoned building on the courthouse square in Evansville, Indiana, that was filled with corpses.
• Three failed executions of a man sentenced to hang for murder.
• The Sarasota [Florida] Assassination Society.
• President Cleveland’s first days in office.
