A HISTORY OF DEATHS AT THE KENNEDY MINE

The Kennedy Mine located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Jackson, California, has always sat in the shadows of the Argonaut Mine because of its infamous disaster. Because the Argonaut has gained so much attention over the years, the history of the Kennedy Mine and its own disasters have gone overlooked. Come with me, as we explore the history of deaths at the Kennedy Mine during its years of operation. Learn all of the stories of these forgotten men, so that they will be forgotten no more.

MORE STORIES OF THE FORGOTTEN

Join me once again, as we explore more stories of the forgotten. With many more tales of accidental and unexplained deaths, to unsolved mysteries and forgotten murders, in this second volume of the "Stories of the Forgotten" series, I have uncovered eleven stories that had been lost to the annals of history. In each case, I present to you a thoroughly researched accounting of every story. This allows you to draw your own conclusions and find out where many of their graves can be found in cemeteries within the Unites States.

In this follow-up book, I have incorporated additional narratives discovered during my continued research.
