Do you know that William Goebel of Kentucky continues to be the one state governor to be assassinated whilst in place of business? Or that Abraham Lincoln, now a favorite son of the Bluegrass State, garnered lower than 1 percent of the state’s vote in 1860? How about Matthew Lyon, the congressman who won reelection from a jail cell and once bit off the thumb of a voter right through a brawl at the House floor? These are but three of the fascinating and little-known stories from Kentucky’s political past found in True Tales of Old-Time Kentucky Politics. Sign up for longtime columnist Berry Craig as he shares tales of a time when votes may well be bought with a drink and political differences were resolved with ten paces and a pistol.
