Newbie introduction :)

Post by Ginger LWS »

Hi, folks. Thought I'd introduce myself, since I feel weird about just jumping into a conversation. :newbie:

I stumbled across this forum a few days ago looking for LB sites. I had tried to look for other LB forums, with little success. I'm so happy that this is active, and that members are expected to be civil.

I first read of Lizzie Borden in a book called Mysterious New England, from Yankee Magazine. I've recently reread two Lizzie Borden books from the library. David Kent's Forty Whacks and Arnold Brown's LB: The Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter. (I know, I know, lol). When I read these when I was younger, I was sold on Brown's theory. Now that I've reread it, I wonder what I was thinking! I'm hoping to read the inquest, the witness statements, and the trial transcripts if/when I'm able.

I'm currently reading another library book called The Cases That Haunt Us by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. It has a chapter dedicated to LB. John Douglas is a former FBI agent who started criminal profiling...I thought that angle would be interesting.

Pleased to meet you all!

Hello Ginger, welcome to the forum. You have joined the most accurate forum available regarding Lizzie Borden and the murders of Abby and Andrew Borden.

There are several threads here on the forum. which contain information on David Kent's Forty Whacks, and even more threads on Arnold Brown’s Lizzie Borden: The Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter.

Here is a link to all of the Primary Documents, except the Preliminary Hearing: http://tinyurl.com/y9kwl9t7
