The Battle of Fort Sackville appears in every history of Vincennes and Knox County, yet so much more defines this area. Everyone is familiar with George Rogers Clark, but few know about ordinary but accomplished figures like diplomat Hubbard Taylor Smith and Civil War veteran Joseph Roseman. The Stibbins murder of 1911 and other long-forgotten crimes once shocked the county, and visits by politicians and entertainers, including Buffalo Bill Cody, enthralled residents before quickly slipping from memory. Weather made history, too, such as the destructive hailstorm that pounded northern Knox County in 1907. With the help of rare photographs, local historian and Sun-Commercial columnist Brian Spangle brings to life these stories and more.

The naive, happy innocence of a child before it is ripped away. That is what the killers profiled in this book have stolen from their victims. Their youth, their innocence, any happiness and normalcy associated with growing up in a world they thought they'd be safe in. True crime isn't only about serial killers and rapists and pedophiles and organized crime. It is also about the victims left behind to serve their own life sentence, often times without anyone to help them make it through the awful ordeal. The Midwest, and Indiana in particular, are, it turns out, a veritable hotbed of killer activity. Some people may find this surprising, given the lengths to which people in the Midwest go to be, or at least to appear, to be friendly and morally upright. But to anyone, such as myself, who has spent any real time in the Midwest, it is obvious that beneath the veneer of friendliness and piety there is a coldness-and Arctic coldness: the same coldness that lies in the depths of a serial killer's heart. Enter the world of...SMALL TOWN MURDER.
Dr. Beck befriends nine-year-old cancer patient, Emily, and her guardian, Tiffany. Out of options for further chemotherapy, her only shot at survival is a costly experimental medication. In an attempt to gather the funds, the three set out on an epic adventure to seek a hidden treasure as they try to save Emily's life. Along the way, Dr. Beck faces his own inner demons with help from his traveling companions and the three grow even closer. One of the artifacts contained in the treasure chest is an ancient Incan bracelet with magical powers, and a parallel story details the fates of two young Incans and their forbidden love. Cancer is a terrible thing, and half of the money raised from the sale of this book is going toward pediatric cancer research through the Caroline Symmes Children's Cancer Endowment.
