About this listen

Like the script of a riveting Hollywood Western and nearly forgotten for over 130 years, the Meeks Family Tragedy of 1894 is one of the most heartbreaking stories in the history of America. From bank fraud, bribery, “blind tiger” saloons and cheating at cards, to poisoning, insurance fraud, Mickey Finns, murder and more, this is a fascinating look at the treacherous Taylor Boys. Well-heeled, well-educated, and well-protected by their cronies and cohorts, the two vicious brothers would stop at nothing in pursuit of their prolific criminal enterprises. The men and their gang terrorized northern Missouri for many years but finally went too far and committed an almost unspeakable act. After the horror, a courageous little girl came back from the dead, brought down their whole operation and brought on a Hanging Bee.
