This 1885 book was written as a series of horrifying murders occurred in Herkimer County within the space of a few months. Young W.H.

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.

In the winter of 1885 William Druse disappeared from his run-down farm near the tiny village of Jordanville, New York. It took a month for the suspicions of his neighbors to lead the local sheriff to arrest Druse's wife Roxy for killing her husband with an axe. Even more horrific stories circulated of how she forced her son, daughter and nephew to dismember and burn the body. Some even said she fed their father's remains to the pigs. The trial which followed became the center of a newly sensational national press and drew the curious and morbid to the county courthouse in Herkimer. Among them was an aspiring young journalist named W. H. Tippetts who, as Roxy Druse fought for her life, published a short book detailing all of the county's murders from colonial times, culminating in an interview with Roxy herself. Despite a spirited campaign to save her life life, she was hung in Herkimer in 1887 while her daughter Mary received a ten year sentence as accomplice. This novel is based very closely on those events, as seen through the eyes of W.H. Tippetts, but presents a new view of Roxy Druse not as a cold-blooded murder but as a mother who would do anything to save the lives of her children. Also included is Tippetts' own history of the county's numerous murders in the years leading up to 1887.
