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.

Chronicles the history of the womens rights and suffrage movements in New York State and examines the important role the state played in the national suffrage movement. The work for womens suffrage started more than seventy years before the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 when Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and one hundred supporters signed the Declaration of Sentiments asserting that all men and women are created equal. This convention served as a catalyst for debates and action on both the national and state level, and on November 6, 1917, New York State passed the referendum for womens suffrage. Its passing in New York signaled that the national passage of suffrage would soon follow. On August 18, 1920, Votes for Women was constitutionally granted. Votes for Women, an exhibition catalog, celebrates the pivotal role the state played in the struggle for equal rights in the nineteenth century, the campaign for New York State suffrage, and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. It highlights the nationally significant role of state leaders in regards to womens rights and the feminist movement through the early twenty-first century and includes focused essays from historians on the various aspects of the suffrage and equal rights movements around New York, providing greater detail about local stories with statewide significance. The exhibition of the same name, on display at the New York State Museum beginning November 2017, features artifacts from the New York State Museum, Library, and Archives, as well as historical institutions and private collections across the state. There is something intimate, inspiring, and strengthening about seeing words created by and names in the handwriting of women who fought the earlier stages of the struggle for equality and shared humanity that is so crucial today. Im grateful for this exhibit and catalog that are just the kind of reminder we need to keep going. Gloria Steinem The New York State Museum has put on an extraordinary exhibit to commemorate the womens suffrage movement and the Nineteenth Amendment, and I hope it inspires a new generation of women and men to raise their voices about all the injustices in their lives. Kirsten Gillibrand, United States Senator for New York State Congratulations to Jennifer Lemak and Ashley Hopkins-Benton for their wonderful book, Votes for Women.The book, and the exhibition upon which it is based, are great gifts from the authors to all New Yorkers who seek to learn more about the varied and vital role women have played in history. The stories and images included in the book bring the valiant women who came before us vividly to life and challenge us to continue their fight for full equality for women.

"In the Forest of Tombolo" is inspired by the experiences of an American soldier during the closing days of World War II. By the time John Squillace fell in love with Michelina Colonna, he had deserted from the American army and ended up with a group of renegades and deserters inhabiting a tract of wasteland near Pisa. When the outlaw camp in the forest of Tombolo was broken up, John was assigned to guard the American poet Ezra Pound, who had spent the war making broadcasts for Mussolini. Before he can be reunited with his love, John is sent to the Pacific. When he finds her again after many years, Michelina reveals the great sorrow of her life. Desperate to save her infant son from an abusive father, she had abandoned the baby years earlier in New York. Returning together to America, they search in vain for the boy. A common interest in poetry leads them to a friendship with Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and only then do they meet her son, a protege of Allen's and a poet himself. Terrified that the young Gregory Corso will hate her what she has done, she will not tell him that she is his mother.
