Description

In spite of its illustrious beginnings as the “Athens of the west,” Lexington has all the time had a darker side lurking just beneath its glossy sheen. It did not take long for the primary intellectual hub west of the Alleghenies to quickly morph into a city with the similar scandalous inclinations as neighboring Louisville and Cincinnati. Filled with tales of infamous duels, cheating congressmen, and a lot more, Wicked Lexington offers the primary collection the town’s rowdy and ruckus history. From Belle Brezing’s infamous brothel of the late 1800s, frequented by probably the most city’s most prominent businessmen, and once pardoned by the governor, to historic sports scandals of the 1900s, local creator Fiona Young-Brown tracks Lexington’s penchant for misdeeds from founding to up to date times.
