The “Spirit Children” Of Boss Cox’s Crony

Greg Hand uncovers the story of Westwood’s Lew Craft, a tough customer who took over Boss Cox’s saloon at Dead Man’s Corner and helped enforce the Boss’ reign in Cincinnati. Lew had a mystical side and found a clairvoyant to produce two children for him from the spiritual realm. Please register to attend in person or virtually via Zoom.

Greg Hand retired in 2014 as associate vice president for public relations at the University of Cincinnati. He is co-author of three books about UC, and edited a book of essays for UC’s 2019 bicentennial. Before his employment at UC, Hand was editor of the Western Hills Press in suburban Cincinnati. In retirement, Hand maintains a blog called “Cincinnati Curiosities” that is dedicated to preserving the weird soul of the Queen City.
