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.
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. From dangerous and sometimes deadly incidents, to wild and crazy escapes and everything in between, this book is a concise but engaging read for anyone who is interested in learning more about Preston's lost history.
I also provide biographies of some of Preston's most famous and infamous former wards such as Merle Haggard, Rory Calhoun, Edmund "Spud" Murphy, Allen Smiley and Ernest Booth, as well as an entire chapter dedicated to former wards who ended up on Death Row, such as Caryl Chessman, the "Red Light Bandit." Besides the sad, tragic and downright vicious stories that took place there, I also provide several positive stories that came out of the school to show the good that came from the school as well.
