First Ransom Note (1874)
Manage episode 376638811 series 2474048
“You wil have to listen us before you git him from us, and pay us a big cent to!" That's the Debut Buddies promise for this fortnight's episode about the First Ransom Note. We travel back to 1874 Germantown/Philadelphia, PA and tell the story of the kidnapping of Charley Ross, a four year-old, and the first time a ransom note had ever happened in the United States, and how it reverberated through history. But why were all 22 notes in someone's basement? Oh, and get ready for a MouthGarf Report... AND some I See What You Did There.

Get some sci-fi from Spaceboy Books.
Get down with Michael J. O'Connor's music!
