Last Woman Hanged: Roxalana Druse
Description:
This extraordinary, exciting, and true story is based on the trial of an emotionally and possibly physically abused woman convicted of the brutal murder of her husband. The setting and trial takes place in the historical village of Herkimer, New York. Throughout the book the author, James Greiner a resident of Herkimer NY himself and very passionate about its history was very accurate in his descriptions of the times and settings of events that took place. As a former resident of Herkimer, born and raised, the manner in which the book was written brought me right home to so many familiar settings. Written in a bone-chilling descript manner left me unable to put the book down and almost at times feeling sorry and a sense of compassion for the crime Roxylana Druse was accused of. You don't want to miss out on this brilliantly written book!! ( Amazon customer)
