Abbott Kahler (born January 23, 1973), formerly known as Karen Abbott, is an American author of historical nonfiction.[1] Her works include Sin in the Second City, American Rose, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy, and The Ghosts of Eden Park.[2]

Writing

[edit]

Sin in the Second City tells the true story of the Everleigh Club, a famous American brothel, and the club's proprietors, sisters Ada and Minna Everleigh. American Rose is an account of stripteaser Gypsy Rose Lee.[3] Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy tells the true story of four women who became spies during the Civil War.

The Ghosts of Eden Park is about a German immigrant named George Remus, who quit practicing law and started trafficking whiskey. Within two years, Remus had earned the title "King of the Bootleggers."

Abbott is a contributor to Smithsonian magazine's history blog, "Past Imperfect". She also has written for The New Yorker.[4]
