Book excerpt: This a true account of love, abduction & murder. Set in rustic Huntington (Long Island), New York in 1872, Charles George Kelsey is enamored of young Julia Smith. The town gentry, led by Dr. George Burr Banks & Julia's grandmother, Charlotte Burr Oakley, disapprove. The stage is set to waylay Kelsey after the presidential election campaign speeches for Horace Greeley in Huntington on the evening of November 4, 1872. Charles Kelsey is abducted, tarred, feathered & murdered. Weighed with weights stolen from Crossman Brothers brick yard, he's taken, while alive, to Lloyd's Beach & dumped in Oyster Bay. Poets Kelsey & Walt Whitman, both from Huntington, were each tarred & feathered. The stinging humiliation of being violated never left accused sodomite Whitman. Newspaper accounts surrounding Kelsey's murder abound, which Whitman immortalizes in his poem, "Nay, tell me not to-day the publish'd shame:", published in the NEW YORK DAILY GRAPHIC onMarch 5, 1873. Kelsey's half corpse or "Legs" surface in Oyster Bay on August 29, 1873, igniting a Coroner's inquest, Judicial hearings & a reward by the Governor of the State of New York, John A. Dix, leading to the arrest & conviction of the murderers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kelsey Outrage!: A Full, Impartial, and Interesting Account of This Most Cruel and Remarkable Crime; The Tar and Feathering; Together With the Alleged Murder of Charles G. Kelsey, Evidence in Full! The Accused Murderers! Doings of the "Tar Party" P. S. - You need not fear, sir, that I care for publicity in this matter. I only wish you to take the first steps and I would sweep your fortune away with a stroke. Now, sir, if you desire to come in conflict with me, enter the arena and our swords will clash, and, if I am not mistaken, you will find yourself to have undertaken something you have not brains enough to accomplish. Dr. Banks and Royal Sammis, Kelsey's successful rival, determined to end the clandestine demonstrations of the latter beneath M iss Julia's window, and for that purpose maintained a vigilant watch of the premises. It was decided by a few who were in the disagreeable secret, that the man should be punished in some way or other for his audacity, and that the vile perse cutions should entirely cease.

Book excerpt: On November 4, 1872, Cathleen Kelsey's brother, George, goes missing after being tarred and feathered by a mob in their small Long Island town. Determined to find him and get justice, Cathleen reinvents herself as a detective. Cathleen Kelsey has always been her brother, Charles's, protector. An eccentric, Bohemian poet, Charles is a bit of an oddball in their small, Long Island town. When he goes missing on Election Eve in 1872, Cathleen discovers he has been tarred and feathered after a flirtatious girl accused him of entering her bedroom and molesting her. Cathleen is certain Charlie is innocent. She suspects the girl's fiancé, the wealthy Sam Royals, and his powerful friends are behind the tarring. Realizing the constable is inept, Cathleen reinvents herself as a smart, fearless detective whose quest is to find Charlie and obtain justice. The town divides along class lines: the "Tars" (defending Sam) vs. the "Anti-Tars." Cathleen proves to be remarkably successful in her detective work, unearthing damning evidence about what the national papers are calling the "Crime of the Century." But the closer she gets to the truth, the more her enemies are determined to stop her.

Book excerpt: The “enormously entertaining” (The Wall Street Journal) account of a shocking 1897 murder mystery that “artfully re-create[s] the era, the crime, and the newspaper wars it touched off” (The New York Times) AN EDGAR NOMINEE FOR BEST FACT CRIME • “Fascinating . . . won’t disappoint readers in search of a book like Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City.”—The Washington Post On Long Island, a farmer finds a duck pond turned red with blood. On the Lower East Side, two boys discover a floating human torso wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumble upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. The police are baffled: There are no witnesses, no motives, no suspects. The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged detectives headlong into the era’s most perplexing murder mystery. Seized upon by battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the case became a publicity circus, as their rival newspapers the World and the Journal raced to solve the crime. What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more sensational trial. The Murder of the Century is a rollicking tale—a rich evocation of America during the Gilded Age and a colorful re-creation of the tabloid wars that forever changed newspaper journalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This true crime collection reveals centuries of rogues, murderers, spurned lovers and accused witches who called Long Island home. Author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky uncovers some of the most ghastly and fascinating historical crimes committed on Long Island. Hidden just beneath the idyllic countryside and picturesque towns, there is a long and murky history of murder and mayhem. A Victorian romance went awry in Huntington when wealthy farmer Charles Kelsey was tarred, feathered and murdered in 1872. Thirty-five years before the famous witch trials of Salem, East Hampton had its own Puritan hysteria among charges of witchcraft. The 1937 kidnapping of wealthy heiress Alice Parsons shook the quiet town of Stony Brook and remains a mystery to this day. These and other tales are revealed in chilling volume.

Download or read book A Lynching at Port Jervis written by Philip Dray and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of a lynching that took place in New York in 1892, forcing the North to reckon with its own racism. On June 2, 1892, in the small, idyllic village of Port Jervis, New York, a young Black man named Robert Lewis was lynched by a violent mob. The twenty-eight-year-old victim had been accused of sexually assaulting Lena McMahon, the daughter of one of the town's well-liked Irish American families. The incident was infamous at once, for it was seen as a portent that lynching, a Southern scourge, surging uncontrollably below the Mason-Dixon Line, was about to extend its tendrils northward. What factors prompted such a spasm of racial violence in a relatively prosperous, industrious upstate New York town, attracting the scrutiny of the Black journalist Ida B. Wells, just then beginning her courageous anti-lynching crusade? What meaning did the country assign to it? And what did the incident portend? Today, it’s a terrible truth that the assault on the lives of Black Americans is neither a regional nor a temporary feature, but a national crisis. There are regular reports of a Black person killed by police, and Jim Crow has found new purpose in describing the harsh conditions of life for the formerly incarcerated, as well as in large-scale efforts to make voting inaccessible to Black people and other minority citizens. The “mobocratic spirit” that drove the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol—a phrase Abraham Lincoln used as early as 1838 to describe vigilantism’s corrosive effect on America—frightfully insinuates that mob violence is a viable means of effecting political change. These issues remain as deserving of our concern now as they did a hundred and thirty years ago, when America turned its gaze to Port Jervis. An alleged crime, a lynching, a misbegotten attempt at an official inquiry, and a past unresolved. In A Lynching at Port Jervis, the acclaimed historian Philip Dray revisits this time and place to consider its significance in our communal history and to show how justice cannot be achieved without an honest reckoning.
