Show Notes

On this episode of Common Mystics Jen and Jill zero in on the restless voices of the women wronged by two well known men in West Union, WV, in the 1800's.  The first, a prominent doctor and pillar of society. History remembers Dr. Charter for his compassionate care of the sick, Christian faith and local leadership. The second, a scoundrel turned saint. According to local legend, innkeeper Luke Jaco turned to God and began aiding runaway slaves after Dr. Charter saved him from death. The two men were linked in life. They are linked together still by similar secrets and dirty deeds.  Listen in now as the sisters burst through history and legend to honor the female voices of the abused, the demeaned, the nameless.
