The Kilmers: Fourth Cousins 4x Removed [Part One]

This episode, we journey through the origins of the Kilmer family legacy in Binghamton, New York, starting with the intriguing story of Dr. S. Andral Kilmer and his infamous, homeopathic remedy, Swamp Root, which took the 19th-century patent medicine industry by storm. However, behind the rise to household medicine fame lies a tale of family drama, corporate betrayal, and the blurred lines between truth and perception.Join us as I uncover the story behind my distant, and admittedly tenuous, connection to these local legends and reveal how lore and local fame can sometimes be even more powerful than actual blood ties.
