Historical Presentation, The Horicon Hustle

A vanishing marsh. A stolen name. Federal Indictments. An attempted murder charge. A fortune that collapsed overnight. This isn’t fiction — it’s Horicon, 1915.
In 1915, Horicon Marsh was sold to Wisconsin farmers as “the richest onion ground in America” — by a man whose real name wasn’t the one on the deed.
What we’ve uncovered since: a decades-old attempted murder charge, a second con man who married into a Chicago fortune, a federal antitrust indictment, a foreclosure that wiped out swindlers and honest farmers alike, a Wisconsin Supreme Court case still on the books today, and much more hidden history.
