David Leon Chandler, with Mary Voelz Chandler, traces the rise of the Bingham family, owners of Louisville’s Courier-Journal and one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the city’s history.
The book digs into the family’s private tragedies alongside its public triumphs, including the long-unresolved questions surrounding a suspicious death that has shadowed the Binghams for generations.
Published in 1989, it remains one of the more unvarnished accounts of a dynasty whose name is stamped across Louisville’s civic and media history.
