In this episode, Minnesota authors Cynthia Schreiner Smith and Deborah Frethem talk about their new book, "Alvin Karpis and the Barker Gang in Minnesota." The book, released in September by Arcadia Publishing and The History Press, sheds new light on the notorious 1930s-era gang and its criminal activity in the Midwest. The authors uncovered new information and never-before-published photos. Smith is an actor/writer/producer born and raised in St. Paul. She has written about St. Paul history for the St. Paul Almanac, and has worked as a tour guide for Down in History Tours in St. Paul. Frethem's previous books include Ghost Stories of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Pinellas County (The History Press, 2007), Haunted Tampa: Spirits of the Bay (The History Press, 2013) and Haunted Ybor City (The History Press, 2014).
