When a band of former Civil War soldiers attempt to rob a train in southern Kentucky, all that could go wrong does go wrong. After making a pact that whoever talks about the robbery will be killed by the group, Harvey King is murdered. Witcher's book follows the historical account of the arrest, trial, and hanging of Captain William King and Abraham Owens. In a special edition of A Deadman's Books, we interview author Dr. Russ Witcher about his book, Going Home to Die No More. We're asking the tough questions. What is Witcher's process of writing? What are the differences in writing research and writing a screenplay? What makes for a good story? Who committed the murder? Dr. Witcher discusses this and more on today's episode.
