Murder and Mayhem: True Crime in New Hampshire from 1883-1915, with author Milli Knudsen

Description
Gibson's Bookstore welcomes veteran author and genealogist Milli Knudsen as she looks at true crime in New Hampshire with her new book Murder and Mayhem: True Crime in New Hampshire from 1883-1915. In the rapidly changing world of 1883-1915, criminals and good citizens learned to cope with new ways to commit crimes and how to protect themselves. Emerging forensic science became a valuable tool. In those pre-internet days, newspapers widely covered the crimes and trials and created an audience of true crime readers, much like what we have today. Murders, robberies, the rise of insurance coverage and therefore arson, the reaction to the 1915 influenza outbreak (including resistance to mask wearing), sex crimes and the advent of financial crimes are all included in case studies averaging 300 to 800 words.
