Book Description
Excerpt from History of Fall River, Massachusetts The observance of the one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of cotton manufacturing in Fall River has seemed to the Merchants Association a fitting occasion for the publication of a concise history of the community. Its historical committee has therefore prepared the pages which follow, in the hope of making the history of the city better known by its citizens and the thousands of visitors within its gates, as well as by many others to whom copies may be sent by friends. The book has been prepared and published in less than two months, and has of necessity been made brief. A strong effort has, however, been made to secure accuracy, and to include all the principal facts in connection with the city's development. The original spelling of names has been retained in many cases, and incidents of interest have in some instances been interwoven. The committee hopes that its work may be the basis of a more extensive history of Fall River. The story of its growth is an inspiration to greater things, and deserves to be more generally known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

The Fall River Tragedy
Author: Edwin H. Porter
Publisher: The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.
ISBN: 1584775467
Category : Murder
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Lizzie Borden [1860-1927] was tried and acquitted for the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. Speculation continues today about the sensational case that produced a famous nursery rhyme. Although she was acquitted, no one else was ever charged with the murders, and Borden lived out her life in Fall River. Compiled immediately after Borden's sensational trial, the author aims to provide "a connected story of the whole case, commencing with the day of the tragedy and ending with the day that Miss Borden was set free." He touches on such topics as the discovery of the murders, the adjournment of the preliminary hearing and some the many theories that were advanced before any arrests were made. The book is handsomely illustrated with photos and line illustrations of the deceased, the accused, the jury and others.
