    Thank You Sir for the mention of my book "Hell Comes To Play" and my years of research into the Benders. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on the Benders. I tip my hat to you for mentioning your sources, this is a rarity among podcastors. Sifting through all the old myths about them was quite a task, but I found that the truth about the Benders was not found in repeating others that were repeating others. I like that you too look at all the sources, yet let the facts tell the story. Mr. Miller has done quite a bit of research into letting the land speak of the atrocities that happened there. I was luck enough to be present during one of the archaeological digs and see them in action. Thank You again for the mention and for the diligence for letting the facts tell the true story.

      Ron just mentioned this story again recently and I think said he was stopping in to visit Mr Miller and the dig to see what had been uncovered so far. I was listening and doing something else at the time so can't remember what time frame he mentioned as he was laying out his plans including his long-awaited trip to England! He's finally going!

As I looked past the traditional myths built up around the Benders and just let history tell their story that one clue revealed another. I soon realized that my research was telling a totally different story than what has been passed on for the last 150 years!!

      That's a myth. Especially during the 19th century people MOVED. We are talking Manifest Destiny, famine in Ireland, wars in Germany and Italy, building of trans continental railroads. They may not have traveled as frequently as we do today but 19th century Frontier was filled with people who migrated around the world. Also they were far from isolated, by the 1860s there were telecommunication lines crossing the continent connecting the East Coast to California, so no people did not stay 20 miles from home their entire lives.

    Growing up in Oklahoma, the legend of the Bloody Benders drifted down this way. I recall first hearing about them back in the 90s when a coworker attended the Bloody Benders days festival. Yes, an actual festival celebrating the Bloody Benders. Don't know if this is still a thing, but it seems like an odd historical event to celebrate with a festival.

    Interesting experience of Charles Engels the father of Laura Engels Wilder when they lived near Indepence Ks in their little house.
    Charles was on his way home from a shopping trip when he came upon the Benders house. He was invited in for a meal but since he did not have money to pay he denied the offer so did not become one of their victims. Sometimes it pays to be poor.
