Who Murdered Mary? : Pete Geissler

Who Murdered Mary? : Pete GeisslerBased on real events perpetrated by real people, Who Murdered Mary? is a gripping tale of shortsighted decisions, heartless animal cruelty, and needless murder of an innocent circus elephant that was aided and abetted by mob rule and officials of a prosperous railroad.

The tale unfolded during three tumultuous days in September 1916 in the peaceful but ill-fated towns of Kingsport, Johnson City, and Erwin, Tennessee.

Officials of The Clinchfield Railroad? The Progressive Era?

Did all of them contribute to this grisly spectacle that refuses to go away?
