Description What makes western Kentucky so unique? Sometimes it seems as if the history of this distinctive region lies buried deep within its awe-inspiring cave systems.
Join western Kentucky historian Berry Craig as he penetrates the depths of the region's lesser-known history and brings to light the people, places and events that have shaped Kentucky's west.
People like Fate Marable, the Paducah-born jazz innovator whose roving Kentucky Jazz Band featured a young Louis Armstrong.
Places like Wheel, the tiny town in Graves County that gave birth to a vice president.
And forgotten feuds like the 1900 Christmas Eve shootout in Mayfield that left a deputy dead.
These stories, and many others, ensure that western Kentucky's hidden history will no longer linger in the shadows.
