• The unknown fate of “Honest Dick” Tate, the nineteenth-century Kentucky State Treasurer who ran off with a fortune in stolen funds
• The battlefield death of Indian chief Tecumseh
• The assassination of William Goebel, who died four days after being sworn in as governor
 
In this enjoyable trip through the past, Kentucky State Historian James Klotter offers clues—but leaves the solutions to the reader.
