Murder & Mayhem in Herkimer County - Hardcover
Description
by Caryl Hopson (Editor), Susan R. Perkins (Editor)
Herkimer County is steeped in history, from the settlement of the Mohawk Valley by Palatine German settlers to the flood of western migration with the opening of the Erie Canal. But the region also boasts an infamous history of high-profile homicides and crimes. Roxalana Druse murdered her abusive husband and became the last woman to be hanged in New York in 1887. The death of Grace Brown on scenic Big Moose Lake became one of the most famous cases in the country in 1906, inspiring author Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy. Psychological tests of intelligence were admitted into court for the first time in an acquittal of sixteen-year-old Jean Gianini in 1914. Caryl Hopson and Susan R. Perkins collect these historic narratives of murder and mayhem in Herkimer County.
