Synopsis
Much has been written of the Lindbergh-Hauptmann Kidnapping Trial of 1934. This book examines what actually happened in the town of Flemington, New Jersey, a sleepy farm town that became, for a few months, the center of the universe. The first weekend of “The Trial of the Century,” the town saw 50,000 people arrive. Over 700 reporters were on hand as well as 150 photographers and countless sketch artists. Nellie’s Bar in the Union Hotel became a landmark for those who got to drink there while prostitutes roamed the streets, paying newsboys tips for “Johns.” Every famous news writer and commentator of the day was there – Adela Rogers St. Johns, Damon Runyon, Dorothy Kilgallen, Walter Winchell, Gabriel Heater, etc. This book examines what they wrote and what they said in their own words as well as colorful stories about each of them. Some of the most famous sketch artists and cartoonists of the times were also there and this book examines what they produced on a daily basis. Flemington, the trial and the times are shown in a light heretofore not described in other books.

When The Circus Came To Town: Flemington NJ and the Lindbergh Kidnapping Trial
Seller: The Archives, Manassas, VA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. When the Circus Came to Town: Flemington NJ and the Lindbergh Kidnapping Trial by James Davidson examines the small town of Flemington, New Jersey, during the infamous Lindbergh kidnapping trial in 1935. The book focuses on the impact of the trial on the town and its residents, who found themselves thrust into the international spotlight. Davidson explores how the trial, which captivated the nation, transformed the town into a "circus" of media attention, public scrutiny, and sensationalism. The narrative not only details the events surrounding the trial but also reflects on the broader cultural and social implications of the case. Through this lens, the book provides a historical perspective on how a small community dealt with the intense pressures and disruptions caused by one of the most highly publicized criminal trials in American history.
