Wicked Fort Wayne

By Leah Cummins Guinn

Established in 1794, Fort Wayne is one of Indiana's oldest communities. As it has developed from a territorial outpost to a cosmopolitan community of over 370,000, it became home to many upstanding citizens of high moral character--and plenty more of the other kind. Wicked Fort Wayne will explore the naughtier sides of Fort Wayne and Allen County, beginning with courts martial at the eighteenth-century fort and continuing through twentieth-century vice, gambling, robbery, the fortune-telling craze, the Ku Klux Klan, and the occasional murder.
