Item description from seller

Published two years after an earlier printing which claims Maine and 1847 as the state and date of the hanging; though appearing to be an account of a true crime, the existence of two identical accounts with different venues and dates seems to indicate a fiction by Calhoun; the reference book, 'The Annals of Murder' by McDade, entry 367, also indicates a fictitious account. 8vo, sewn yellow paper covers; fair (covers waterstained and soiled; edges of covers and several pages chipped, torn, and worn; sewn ends torn and worn; bottom corner of front cover almost completely torn off, only attached by small piece; corners heavily creased and torn, affects covers and pages; foxing to pages; bottom corners of pp7-16 torn off and missing, some loss of text; pages toning); 32pp. If you collect true crime or rare crime fiction this will be the rarest book in your collection.
