During the first half of the nineteenth century, Alton was actually the largest town in the state of Illinois. The town was billed as the “most desirable place to live on the east side of the Mississippi River,” St. Louis began to be referred to – much to the dismay of its political and business leaders – as “the little town downriver from Alton.” There are three industries in the area linked to ghostly tales from Alton’s past. We’re going to explore two of them today.
Join us in this special 10-episode "on the side" season as we revisit new and updated stories from our very first season of the podcast on Alton, Illinois, based on the new edition of HAUNTED ALTON by Troy Taylor, available below.
