The tavern at Mundy's Landing looked out across the Kentucky River, its porches once filled with travelers, drovers, and steamboat passengers. But behind its polished brass and hand-carved woodwork lay tragedy. In 1883, ferryman Robert Lowry Munday died suddenly, his widow Lucretia accused of murder by poison. What followed were years of trials, rumors, and whispered betrayals that haunted a family for generations. Blending frontier history with courtroom drama, this book reveals the rise and fall of a river community where ambition, scandal, and survival collided on the banks of Kentucky's most storied crossing.
