Get ready for a new drinking game! Play along with Katy as Hannah tells her the story of George Barnes (aka: George Kelly) and the spectacular, if not poorly planned, kidnapping he pulled off during America's Gangster Era. And see if you can figure out which infamous figure we're talking about before Katy does (no cheating!) From smooth talking bank robbers, to fumbled kidnappings (with IOU's), to an unnecessarily complicated ransom-exchange plan, the girls cover it all, and go through a whole bottle of wine. So pour your own drink of choice, sit back, and join us for this indulgence in Hannah's 1930's fixationSources:https://multimedia.fbi.gov/?q=&perpage=50&page=1&searchType=image&tags=Machine%20Gun%20Kellyhttps://archive.org/details/machinegunkellys0000hami/page/70/mode/2up?view=theaterhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Gun_Kelly_(gangster)https://www.biography.com/crime/machine-gun-kellyhttps://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1933?amount=94250https://www.alcatrazhistory.com/mgk.htmSupport the Show.Follow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!

Episode 14 features Philip Leigh, author of numerous books, including “Southern Reconstruction,” “Lee's Lost Dispatch and Other Civil War Controversies,” “Trading with the Enemy: The Covert Economy During the American Civil War,” “The Confederacy at Flood Tide: The Political and Military Ascension, June to December 1862,” “The Devil's Town: Hot Springs During the Gangster Era,” and his newest work “U.S. Grant's Failed Presidency.” You can read his blog posts at his website Civil War Chat, as well as his essays published at the Abbeville Institute. Leigh contributed 24 articles to The New York Times Disunion blog, which commemorated the Civil War Sesquicentennial. The prolific writer also lectures at various War Between the States forums and roundtables, and will be speaking at Abbeville's upcoming fall conference entitled “Who Owns America?” A native of Little Rock, Arkansas, Leigh holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology and an MBA from Northwestern University. The independent historian and I talk about no sympathy for national battlefield guides, Washington and Lee University's push to purge Lee and the gentleman ethic, name changes of military bases (and birds!), the spinelessness of the GOP, how compelling Southern fiction could be an untapped strategy of unReconstructed resistance, and that A.P. Hill might just be a good hill to die on (figuratively, of course). Here's to happy listening and staking our Southern claim.

Most of us have grown up thinking that Elliot Ness and his famed "Untouchables" were the crimefighters who brought down the notorious Al Capone in Chicago. But instead, it was a group of millionaire businessmen called the "Secret Six" who were the real reason for the Capone Outfit's demise.  In his book "Al Capone and the 1933 World's Fair: The End of the Gangster Era in Chicago", my guest, William Hazelgrove, makes the argument that in order for the city to successfully host their second World's Fair, they had to take out Al Capone first.
