Tom Chaney: The Harpes - Adair/Trabue connection. 3/10/07

Of Writers and their Books: Bloody trails in a dark land
Book Review: Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock includes fascinating story of the Harpes, who were the murderers of Daniel Trabue's son in Adair County, KY


By Tom Chaney

Whatever the source for the description of Kentucky as "the dark and bloody land," the appellation was richly deserved during the last decade of the 18th and early years of the 19th centuries.

A cave in the northern banks of the Ohio River became the focal point for murder, robbery, and kidnapping between 1799 and the hanging of Henry C. Shouse June 9, 1834.
