Killing at the Golden Eagle Hotel

S2E8 - In the true old west of Sacramento, California in 1855 - an abusive father and a desperate daughter - with a gentle but proud young man caught between them.  There wasn't room enough for all of them in that town.  Was justice really done?  For the first time, you can hear the story of the killing of Amiel Brickell, quoted directly from the accounts of the time, and determine for yourself.
