In 1924, Butte bootlegger John O'Leary pulled two revolvers in a packed federal courtroom—and hit no one but himself. Acquitted by reason of insanity, he lived on as a Panama-hat-wearing barroom character into the 1960s. The bullet hole in the judge's bench? Still there today.

He wore a ski mask in Princeton. He threw out his bed. His wife tasted every spoonful for thirty-nine years. When she went to the hospital, he stopped eating. Kurt Gödel, the logician who proved no system is complete, built one anyway.

Gold, ghosts, and a stolen name: six lost prospectors struck it rich on an alder-choked creek and built Montana’s first capital almost overnight. Vigilantes hanged the sheriff. Fortunes drained away just as fast. Decades later, one ranching couple spent a lifetime saving what was left. Here’s the real story.

Another pitch for my Relics class, boosts appreciated:

Though I focus on the Christian cult of relics, I also discuss similarly powerful objects from ancient Greece, the ancient Hebrews, and the Islamic world. It's a great introduction to magical and memorializing objects throughout the premodern Mediterranean.
