Episode Synopsis

Richard Jay Hutto served as White House Appointments Secretary to the Carter family and was chairman of the Georgia Council for the Arts. One of the foremost historians of the Gilded Age, he is the author of Crowning Glory: American Wives of Princes and Dukes, and Their Gilded Cage: The Jekyll Island Club Members. A frequent international lecturer, his book A Peculiar Tribe of People: Murder and Madness in the Heart of Georgia was adapted for television—the Atlanta Journal-Constitution described it as “a southern grotesque that comes complete with stately mansions, murder most vile, forbidden sex, a pot-boiling trial and a denouement worthy of a Greek tragedy [with] an ending that even Sophocles wouldn't wish on his worst enemy” (November 3, 2010). He is also a regular contributor to Royalty Digest Quarterly.
