About this episode
The Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka, Kansas has a deadly wild-west weapon that played a central role in a duplicitous plot orchestrated by a very unlikely outlaw. In Newport News, Virginia, the Mariners' Museum displays a device that helped sustain one man's unbelievable quest for survival on the high seas. And at the Hardin County History Museum Elizabethtown, Kentucky, visitors can view a set of five glimmering gemstones that are linked to a supposed land of riches that hypnotized some of the wealthiest men of their day.
