Forgotten Tales of Indiana

Author Keven McQueen recalls a time when skunk farms, which allegedly produced a cure for rheumatism, were speckled throughout the countryside and a miserable woman tied her husband to a fence post, coated him with salt and intended to let the cows "lick him to death." Meet the King of the Ghouls, an accomplished grave robber and notorious murderer, and a man so convinced he was an ox that he often joined neighborhood cattle for a bite of grass, and discover ghosts, monsters, giant skeletons and more in this collection of outlandish tales from the Hoosier State. McQueen introduces readers to outlandish tales from the Hoosier State. You'll read about grave robbers; ghosts, buried treasures and more. Some are true stories, such as the 1905 Indiana law that banned the sale of cigarettes. But others... well, we may never know.... -- adapted from back cover and perusal of book Keven Mcqueen ; Illustrations By Kyle Mcqueen.
