This week's episode is about Gilbert Campbell and the entity that terrorised his family from 1654 - 1656. It would seem the devil loves himself a wee vacation in the Scottish countryside.

Louisville as a Country Music City

In Meade County, Kentucky sits a unique piece of mahogany veneered furniture. A treat for the eye, but dive deeper into it's origins and you might be surprised to hear of it's dark history and involvement in over ten deaths. Is this chest cursed, or is this just a case of wrong place, wrong time.

Cursed Objects: The Conjured Chest

Founded in 1780, what would become Transylvania University was established over a decade before Kentucky even became a state. In 1818, Horace Holley—a Yale-educated minister from Connecticut—took over as president of the fledgling institution. Holley attempted to transform the institution, but ran into a host of difficulties. Join us today for a discussion with a former research fellow, who has written a book exploring Holley’s life and the tumultuous time that he spent at Transylvania.

Dr. James P. Cousins is the President of Kentucky Wesleyan College. He holds a PhD from the University of Kentucky and has published widely on the history of education. He co-authored, Collaboration and the Future of Education: Preserving the Right to Think and Teach Historically. A former research fellow at the Kentucky Historical Society, Dr. Cousins will talk to us today about his book “Horace Holley: Transylvania University and the Making of Liberal Education in the Early American Republic,” which he published with the University Press of Kentucky.

Kentucky Chronicles is inspired by the work of researchers worldwide who have contributed to the scholarly journal, The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, in publication since 1903.
