Thirty-eight children and six adults were dead, among them Kehoe, who had literally blown himself to bits by setting off a dynamite charge in his car. The next day, on Kehoe's farm, what was left of his wife--burned beyond recognition after Kehoe set his property and buildings ablaze--was found tied to a handcart, her skull crushed. With seemingly endless stories of school violence and suicide bombers filling today's headlines, \u003ci\u003eBath Massacre\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a reminder that terrorism and large-scale murder are nothing new. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA native of Chicago, \u003cb\u003e Arnie Bernstein \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Hoofs and Guns of the Storm: Chicago's Civil War Connections\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHollywood on Lake Michigan: 100 Years of Chicago and the Movies\u003c\/i\u003e.
