Synopsis
Schwarz share's the interesting stories of the city's luminaries while revisiting some nuttiness of the nearly forgotten, such as Carrie Finnell who came to Cleveland via the Burlseque circuit and stayed almost a year (usual stays for burlesque was two weeks) during which time she invented the Strip Tease now seen throughout the country, and Short Vincent bartender and occasional flagpole sitter Richard Tuma who, in 1958, challenged a race horse to a run around the track - and won. There will be notorious womanizer but great self-publicist Eliot Ness, Cleveland's Safety Director fresh from chasing Al Capone in Chicago, and Elizabeth Bigley, a Canadian con artist who married with such frequency that the one time she went to jail, she was listed as Elizabeth Lydia Bigley Springsteen Scott Hoover DeVere. However, Cleveland got to know her when she married Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick and announced she was Andrew Carnegie's daughter. Since the rich were feted and never had to pay, the scam worked on everyone until Carnegie came to town., Explore the events and characters that make up the more unusual aspects of Cleveland's history. A must-read for fans of fantastic, peculiar, and nontraditional history. Eliot Ness might come busting in and take all of you crooks to jail - or more likely he won't, even if you've been robbing banks all over Cleveland and bragging about it to the media, like self-proclaimed last of the big-time bank robbers Eddie Watkins. This isn't your Kevin Costner version of Eliot Ness, and this isn't your standard collection of Cleveland eccentrics. Join author Ted Schwarz on this romp celebrating bizarre misdeeds and noteworthy accomplishments of Clevelanders large and small. Learn of the burlesque star who created the striptease and the con woman who claimed to be Andrew Carnegie's illegitimate daughter. Get to know present-day street musician Maurice Reedus Jr. and the remaining cast of loving souls, offbeat characters and one-of-a-kind Clevelanders. As the Cleveland Plain Dealer put it in April 2009, Ted Schwarz may be the most prolific author you've never heard of. He's been freelancing full time for nearly forty years. During that time, he's written well over one hundred books and more than three thousand articles and short stories for publications throughout the world. His books have been translated into more than a half dozen languages, and several have been made into documentaries and/or television movies. He has appeared on over three hundred television and radio programs in the United States and Canada., Eliot Ness might come busting in and take all of you crooks to jail--or more likely he won't, even if you've been robbing banks all over Cleveland and bragging about it to the media, like self-proclaimed last of the big-time bank robbers" Eddie Watkins.
