Disastrous Deaths is a rich and colorful exploration of the darker side of the human heart. The Emotions that drive individuals to murder-rage, anger, fear, treachery and sex-are examined in a finely crafted historical account offering first-hand insights into characters fatally rooted in the past. Despite some well-known cases, you'll keep turning the pages. A definite must read and highly recommended. - Kenneth Fith, Metro Nashville Archivist; From the cover of Disastrous Deaths; From the Dueling Grounds on Red River to Murder on Elm Hill Pike.

All history begins as local history, and Ridley Will's detailed examination of the history and sites along the Franklin and Granny White Pikes brings the local history of Nashville to vibrant life. Through profiles of churches, Civil War sites, public institutions, schools, racetracks, railroads and even a zoo and hunt club -as well as more than 75 houses --Wills offers more than a valuable reference work. He brings to life such notables as Ambrose Bierce, Frank Andrews, Maggie Vaulx, Kate Thomson Kirkland, Rogers Caldwell, "Spot" McCarthy, David Lipscomb, Luke Lea, and Lucinda "Granny" White.
