Download or read book Murder & Mayhem in Columbus, Ohio written by Nellie Kampmann and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every city's history has its dark underbelly of crime. Columbus is no exception. From the turn of the century to the dawn of World War I, scandals involving an opium den and a sadistic murderer rocked a respectable downtown community. Around the same time, a cop killer masterminded a plot to free himself from the Franklin County Jail by having his gang attempt to blow the place up with nitroglycerin. In 1946, dead bodies kept popping up after a prim young teacher disappeared from a quiet Grandview Heights neighborhood. Two years later, a middle-aged housewife was killed with a butcher knife the same day that a tattooed mystery woman was found knifed to death in a downtown hotel. Join Nellie Kampmann as she explores the back alleys of Arch City history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized crime was born in the back of a fruit store in Marion. Before America saw headlines about the Capone Mob, the Purple Gang and Murder Inc., the specter of the Black Hand terrorized nearly every major city. Fears that the Mafia had reached our shores and infiltrated every Italian immigrant community kept police alert and citizens on edge. It was only a matter of time before these professed Robin Hoods formed a band. And when they did, the eyes of the world turned to Ohio, particularly when the local Black Hand outfit known as the Society of the Banana went on trial. Authors David Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker unfold this first and nearly forgotten chapter on crime syndicate history.

Download or read book A People's History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Download or read book The Columbus Conspiracy written by Karlos K and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A speculative historical thriller inspired by the contradictions around Columbus life. The "rags to riches" story of an inspired, brilliant but mercurial, obsessive and self-serving adventurer, capable of unspeakable atrocities, created a global myth that arouses contradictory reactions. However, the traditional schoolbook account of his life is ridden with mysteries, contradictions, forged documents and books with pages ripped off, all the ingredients of a plot that lasted five hundred years and only recently is being revealed for what it is: a fairy tale! The book combines a present day murder mystery with the power politics and religious quests of the 15th century, set against the background of the always extraordinary, sometimes gruesome Age of Discoveries. It is a mix of a detailed historical investigation and a speculative hypothesis to connect the loose ends of Columbus life: a tremendous secret, threatening enough to justify the deep political and religious conspiracy woven by kings and popes to silence Columbus' true identity and mission.An American PhD student is found death, bleeding from a suspicious pentagram-shaped cut in her wrist. She was in Lisbon doing research on Christopher Columbus. Thirteen years later, her twin sister (a disillusioned wall street banker struggling between the demands of her job and the pressure to have a baby) returns to Lisbon to retrace her steps, unaware she would face a complex web of crossed stories, ciphered messages and mistaken identities, a puzzle she will need to solve to uncover her sister's murder and Columbus tremendous secret: a forbidden Book kept hidden for 500-years. A passionate, fiery first-person account by Columbus up to his first expedition, as he looks forward to complete his mission, and the personal sacrifices he had to make (leaving behind the love of his life to assume a fake identity in Spain). The memories of his son Fernando, looking back with a tranquil, analytical view from the fourth expedition onward, describing vividly the amazement of the first contacts with new civilizations and the atrocities unleashed by the 'Conquistadores', as well as his father's own struggle: a humiliated, erratic, sick and hallucinating man with bouts of brilliance and sheer courage, striving to protect the secret Book from the claws of the Inquisition.

Praise for Columbus Noir “Moments of humanity shine through in many of the tales in this collection, and epic takes on pride and greed make many of the stories in this collection go beyond small miseries into the realm of Shakespearian tragedy. Urgent, beautiful, and not to be missed.” —CrimeReads, included in CrimeReads’ Most Anticipated Crime Books of 2020 “This superior Akashic noir anthology gathers 14 dark snapshots of Ohio’s capital, a very dangerous place indeed, with heavy drug use and murder touching down everywhere, from the German Village neighborhood to the statehouse. One highlight is Craig McDonald’s “Curb Appeal,” one of several invoking the homicidal search for housing. In the editor’s effective “Going Places,” a security man who covers up affairs for the governor gets pulled into a murder plot . . . . Noir fans should be well satisfied.” —Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Columbus's Unscrupulous Past... Dubbed the 'Athens of the Prairie' for its array of stunning modern architecture, Columbus still endured its share of unsavory citizens, crime-ridden neighborhoods and tales of woe. Many residents avoided the infamous slums of Smoky Row and Death Valley, while others gave in to the allure of Lillian "Todie" Tull's famed house of ill repute on North Jackson Street. Two different father-and-son hoodlum partnerships, the McKinneys and the Bells, terrorized the area in the 1800s. And a brutal fistfight between a newspaper editor and the mayor sparked a scandal in 1877. Author Paul J. Hoffman guides the reader on a wild ride through the city's salacious side." -- back cover
