Despite its illustrious beginnings as the Athens of the west, Lexington has always had a darker side lurking just beneath its glossy sheen. It didnt take long for the first intellectual hub west of the Alleghenies to quickly morph into a city with the same scandalous inclinations as neighboring Louisville and Cincinnati. Filled with tales of infamous duels, cheating congressmen, and much more, Wicked Lexington offers the first collection the citys rowdy and ruckus history. From Belle Brezings infamous brothel of the late 1800s, frequented by some of the citys most prominent businessmen, and once pardoned by the governor, to historic sports scandals of the 1900s, local author Fiona Young-Brown tracks Lexingtons penchant for misdeeds from founding to modern times.
