Kentucky Explorer Magazine


I haven't mentioned Kentucky Explorer Magazine in some time. This month's issue is another great one.

Some stories appropriate for this holiday include an article from 1911 about the first legal electrocution in the state, which happened in Eddyville. 18 year old Jim Buckner was executed for murder. The article talks about his crime, and his final moments.

An article by Robert Wilhelm covers the legend of Pearl Bryan- one of the more notable and most mysterious crime victims in the state.

There are articles about Jesse James robbing a bank in Adair County, Big Bone Lick State Park, and others.

I personally subscribe to Kentucky Explorer but it is only $2.50 an issue!
