Short of the Glory: The Fall and Redemption of Edward F. Prichard Jr.

Essentially a Greek tragedy set on the stage of American politics, the chronicle of Edward F. Prichard's meteoric rise and fall "hearkens back to why we read history" (James C. Klotter, Director, Kentucky Historical Society). Known for his dazzling wit and photographic memory, as well as for being careless and crude, Prichard fell victim to the hubris that helped to make him great when, after stuffing a ballot box in a 1948 Senate primary race, he was prosecuted and was sent to jail. 16 illustrations.
