Carrie Hagen discusses the first kidnapping for ransom in American history, the subject for her new book We Is Got Him. The 1874 disappearance of Charley Ross shocked Pennsylvanians and elicited a national manhunt to discover his captors, whose cryptic note inspired the book’s title. Carrie will be speaking tonight at the Swarthmore Public Library. Register here for free admission, and be sure to check out her other upcoming events.
