Wild Quincy

UNEXPLAINED: Mad Dr. McDowell


Listen Later

For the first time we jump the river and head to Hannibal, Missouri; America's Hometown, to discuss one of the strangest cases of that walks the line between crazy and genious. If you have ever been on a tour of Mark Twain Cave or a Ghost Tour in Hannibal, you have surely heard of this guy, Dr. Joseph McDowell. On this episode we look beyond the brief footnote and dig deeper into the whole story of one of the wildest Doctors in history, Dr.Joesph Nash McDowell. The majority of source material was obtained by way of the book: Missouri's Mad Doctor McDowell: Confederates, Cadavers and Macabre Medicine by Victoria Cosner and Lorelei Shannon
