Meet the Author of "Barrelhouse Boys"

On a summer evening in 1894, a train bound for Lincoln left the Rock Island Rail depot in Fairbury. However, just before reaching its destination the train derailed with deadly consequences. Evidence at the scene pointed to sabotage, making it the worst mass murder in state history.

In his new book "Barrelhouse Boys," Joel Williamsen creates his own cast of characters and uses a handful of historical figures to weave a fascinating "what-if" tale of intrigue and mystery around the fatal crash. Mr. Williamsen will be at the Rock Island Depot in Fairbury on Monday, Aug. 9th at 7:00pm to sign copies of his book and talk about the history behind it. Come meet the author and enjoy an interesting presentation on a little-known part of Fairbury's past.
