Stories From Maine II: The Legends Continue is the second book to chronicle many of the odd and legendary tales from of America's 23rd State of Maine. Fascinating facts, dates, events and people, mixed with legend, capture these amazing and entertaining stories. This is the history you were not taught in school.

In 1808, when the United States was in its infancy, and before Maine became a state, the murder of Cumberland County Deputy Sheriff Ebenezer Parker saw two men jailed and tried for the capital offense. In the end, one man was acquitted, one was convicted, and an execution took place. Widespread apathy for the victim - amid rising sympathies for the condemned - had spawned the birth of a mystery, and a mythical legend, which has endured for over two centuries until a Historian's Inquiry sought to solve an "ultimate cold case." This is the story of two men - forever linked in history - and a modern-day examination to solve a complex and tangled mystery to uncover the enigmatic life of Deputy Ebenezer Parker, explain the surprising effort to spare the life of Blacksmith Joseph Drew, and answer a basic question: Where is Cumberland County Sheriff's Deputy Ebenezer Parker buried?
