Serial killers and gangland thugs are a staple of the evening news, but the
are nothing new, at least not in America.

In the frontier era, millions of settlers left their old lives and set out
for a new life in the West, floating down the waters of the Ohio river. For
many, it was the ultimate one-way trip, for along the way was a cavern called
Cave-In-Rock, where criminals waited for their unsuspecting prey. IN SEARCH
OF HISTORY® tells the incredible story of the RIVER PIRATES who plied their
deadly trade from this hiding place, including the notorious Harpes,
estimated to have killed 40 people. Filled with historical re-enactments and
commentary from leading scholars, it tells the tales of Samuel Mason, the
Ford’s Ferry Gang and Pott’s Landing, revealing how the RIVER PIRATES finally
met their end and exploring how their crimes went unreported for so long.

The bloody story of some of America’s earliest and most active killers comes
alive in this fascinating program.
