This is true crime for every country home bed table.

This volume presents a selection of 500 letters by Clarence Darrow, the pre-eminent courtroom lawyer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Randall Tietjen selected these letters from over 2,200 letters in archives around the country, as well as from one remarkable find—the kind of thing historians dream about: a cache of about 330 letters by Darrow hidden away in the basement of Darrow’s granddaughter’s house. This collection provides the first scholarly edition of Darrow’s letters, expertly annotated and including a large amount of previously unknown material and hard-to-locate letters. Because Darrow was a gifted writer and led a fascinating life, the letters are a delight to read. This volume also presents a major introduction by the editor, along with a chronology of Darrow’s life, and brief biographical sketches of the important individuals who appear in the letters.

AMERICA’S MOST COLD-BLOODED! In the horrifying annals of American crime, the infamous names of brutal killers such as Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, and Berkowitz are writ large in the imaginations of a public both horrified and hypnotized by their monstrous, murderous acts. But for every celebrity psychopath who’s gotten ink for spilling blood, there’s a bevy of all-but-forgotten homicidal fiends studding the bloody margins of U.S. history. The law gave them their just desserts, but now the hugely acclaimed author of The Serial Killer Files and The Whole Death Catalog gives them their dark due in this absolutely riveting true-crime treasury. Among America’s most cold-blooded you’ll meet • Robert Irwin, “The Mad Sculptor”: He longed to use his carving skills on the woman he loved—but had to settle for making short work of her mother and sister instead. • Peter Robinson, “The Tell-Tale Heart Killer”: It took two days and four tries for him to finish off his victim, but no time at all for keen-eyed cops to spot the fatal flaw in his floor plan. • Anton Probst, “The Monster in the Shape of a Man”: The ax-murdering immigrant’s systematic slaughter of all eight members of a Pennsylvania farm family matched the savagery of the Manson murders a century later. • Edward H. Ruloff, “The Man of Two Lives”: A genuine Jekyll and Hyde, his brilliant scholarship disguised his bloodthirsty brutality, and his oversized brain gave new meaning to “mastermind.” Spurred by profit, passion, paranoia, or perverse pleasure, these killers—the Witch of Staten Island, the Smutty Nose Butcher, the Bluebeard of Quiet Dell, and many others—span three centuries and a host of harrowing murder methods. Dramatized in the pages of penny dreadfuls, sensationalized in tabloid headlines, and immortalized in “murder ballads” and classic fiction by Edgar Allan Poe and Theodore Dreiser, the demonic denizens of Psycho USA may be long gone to the gallows—but this insidiously irresistible slice of gothic Americana will ensure that they’ll no longer be forgotten.

All murders are not created equal. There are epoch-making homicides like the O. J. Simpson bloodbath or the Lizzie Borden horror-and then there are all the rest. The 1898 murder of George D. Saxton wasn't one of the rest-it had everything: Saxton, a Social Register victim with a sordid love-life; Anna George, the femme fatale suspect from the gutter where he'd kicked her-and loads of sex, sensation and a slam-bang surprise ending. Not to mention the President of the United States-William A. McKinley-the corpse's embarrassed brother-in-law. Inexplicably now forgotten, the Saxton slaying riveted a national audience from the opening shots on a Canton, Ohio street to the stunning end of a three-week legal combat with Anna's life as the stake. Take an unforgettable ride on John Stark Bellamy II's tragical history trip to turn-of-the-20th century America and the sensational killing that shocked America and brought scandal to the very doors of the White House.

"Although long lost in the mists of civic amnesia, the Great Cleveland Streetcar Strike was the greatest civil upheaval in the city's history, both in terms of its duration and for the proportion of its citizens involved in mass participation law-breaking. On one side: the Cleveland Electric Railway Company ("The Big Con"), led by tough traction magnate Henry Everett and backed by a force of over half a thousand armed strikebreakers, hired detectives, the Cleveland police force and the state militia. On the other: the Big Con's 800 newly unionized conductors and motorman and tens of thousands of Clevelanders sympathetic to the strikers and willing to commit violence on their behalf. To the Bitter End is the story of their epic combat as it was fought out in the city streets through the summer and fall of 1899. An amazing tale of oppression and mayhem, ruthlessness and loss, the Great Streetcar Strike was a working-class insurrection that touched the lives of all Clevelanders at the turn of the 20th century and continues to reverberate today."--Back cover.
