Richard Phelps as Daniel Trabue who, as a boy in Virginia, heard great things about Kentucky from an older brother and determined to make the journey when he grew up. In his lifetime he did make it to Kentucky, ultimately helping the governor establish the City of Columbia. In his presentation he tells of his travels, triumphs and losses, including the murder of his 12-year-old son by the bloody Harpe brothers. Clicking 'read more' takes you to the story and it contains a link to Mike Watson's chilling three part history of "the bloody Harpes."
