Celebrate America’s outrageous competitive fire

About the Author
Railey Jane Savage lives and works in Ithaca, NY, where her abiding love for history's forgotten moments - swindles, or otherwise - grows against the dramatic background of the Finger Lakes. With an English degree from Smith College, she splits her time between writing and editing. Swindles is her second book with Lyons after the 2017 release of We Have a Winner!: America's Weird and Wonderful Races, Derbies, Pageants, and Eating Contests.
