Description
True Crime in the Civil War examines the most infamous moments of the era. It is a unique history that chronicles each year's headline criminal cases, providing an in-depth tour of the era through its most notorious events. The usual suspects-Bill Quantrill and Nathan Bedford Forrest-are here, along with other, lesser-known fiends, such as the paper bandit known as "Sue Mundy" and Captain Alexander, who ran one of the most feared prisons in both the North or the South.
Advance Praise
Crime did not take a holiday during the Civil War, far from it. As Tobin Buhk shows in this fast-paced narrative....Students of the Civil War will find new information in this readable account. -- James M. McPherson Pulitzer Prize-Winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom
