<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Asheville is a wonderfully strange city, but it has a few shadows in its past. Teenager Helen Clevenger was brutally murdered at the luxurious Battery Park Hotel in 1936. William Dudley Pelley called himself 'America's Hitler' and founded his Silver Legion in Asheville. He stirred up enough antiwar propaganda to go to prison. A desperado named Will Harris came into town on a cold night in November 1906 and left a trail of dead bodies and panic among Asheville citizens. Mayor Gallatin Roberts killed himself in the wake of collapsing banks. Asheville native Marla Hardee Milling delves into wicked stories of murder, sedition, corruption, arson and disease."--Page 4 of cover. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> Asheville is a wonderfully strange city, but it has a few shadows in its past.

The book brims with details of murder and mayhem, corruption, arson, and disease... Milling uses her acute reporting skills to explore these chilling cases and uncovers details that make the reader pause with discomfort (and wonder why the author has chosen to recall such bizarre events from the past)." <i> Asheville Citizen Times </i> <p/>
