Jefferson, Texas, began as a simple ferry crossing on the Big Cypress Bayou. By 1841, Allen Urquhart had realized the potential for a town at this spot and purchased 640 acres. Daniel Alley bought the adjacent tract, and the city of Jefferson was born. The town flourished as a steamship port during the 1800s and became the second-largest city in Texas. Steamboats from as far south as New Orleans would dock in Jefferson, unloading travelers and freight before taking on new cargo and starting on the return trip. When the water levels in the bayou eventually fell, Jefferson was no longer accessible by steamship, and the population began to dwindle. Many saw this as the end of the city. However, the 1960s brought a rebirth to the town, and today Jefferson shares its rich history with travelers from across the nation.

Jones, Professor of Government George

After being summarily thrown out of the upcoming 1964 World's Fair project, presumably at the instruction of JFK himself, billionaire H.L. Hunt turned to John Curington, his attorney, and said, "I've about got a belly-full of those Kennedy boys. They both need to go." A few months later John Kennedy would be dead, followed by his brother a few years later.
 Formerly undisclosed and privileged information suggests that one man could have had the motive and opportunity to influence the untimely deaths of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, along with the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.
 For the first time, John Curington, lawyer to Haroldson Lafayette "H.L." Hunt Jr., divulges once-private information to author Mitchel Whitington, that substantiates the fact that a conspiracy could have indeed existed.
 Come explore a previously-untold story - the story of John Curington - that may fill gaps in the tragic tales of these important national figures, and provide information that has never been unearthed before. Read it for yourself, and be the judge as to whether H.L. Hunt had both the motive and opportunity to have influenced the deaths of such prominent men.
