Book Synopsis Roxy Druse & the Murders of Herkimer County by : Michael Cooney
Download or read book Roxy Druse & the Murders of Herkimer County written by Michael Cooney and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the winter of 1885 William Druse disappeared from his run-down farm near the tiny village of Jordanville, New York. It took a month for the suspicions of his neighbors to lead the local sheriff to arrest Druse's wife Roxy for killing her husband with an axe. Even more horrific stories circulated of how she forced her son, daughter and nephew to dismember and burn the body. Some even said she fed their father's remains to the pigs. The trial which followed became the center of a newly sensational national press and drew the curious and morbid to the county courthouse in Herkimer. Among them was an aspiring young journalist named W. H. Tippetts who, as Roxy Druse fought for her life, published a short book detailing all of the county's murders from colonial times, culminating in an interview with Roxy herself. Despite a spirited campaign to save her life life, she was hung in Herkimer in 1887 while her daughter Mary received a ten year sentence as accomplice. This novel is based very closely on those events, as seen through the eyes of W.H. Tippetts, but presents a new view of Roxy Druse not as a cold-blooded murder but as a mother who would do anything to save the lives of her children. Also included is Tippetts' own history of the county's numerous murders in the years leading up to 1887.
