A Collection of True Cases

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"My investigation of Minnesota murders over the years revealed no new motives for killing anyone. The old ones are perfectly satisfactory. . . . I hope you will find these murders interesting. I regret that I could not report the most ingenious and remarkable ones. They looked like accidents or natural deaths and were never discovered."-Walter N. Trenerry Murder in Minnesota features some of the state's most infamous criminals-a collection of fascinating and disagreeable characters usually ignored by historians. They live again in these pages as the conniving, clever, mad, or pitiful creatures they were. Fifteen chapters-involving both well-known and obscure practitioners of the deadly art-tell the stories of Ann Blansky, the only woman hanged in Minnesota; the famous Younger brothers, who with the James boys robbed the Northfield bank in 1876; the six Arbogast women of St. Paul, who kept a murderous secret that still remains undisclosed; and many more. Praise for Murder in Minnesota: "You should not overlook this exemplary work."-New York Times Book Review "An exemplary treatment of regional history as revealed by the spotlight of crime. Would that the other . . . state historical societies might follow Minnesota's noble example!"-Anthony Boucher, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine "A fine example of true-crime writing for all devotees of that form."-San Francisco Chronicle
