Mondo Lizzie Borden

This may be old news to you, but it is something I stumbled upon today. The complete text of Alice Brayton’s Life on the Stream is online for you to download to your computer!

Life on the Stream is an overview of Fall River, Massachusetts, in the nineteenth century. Volume One contains information on Holder Borden, Avery’s Knot; Olive Bowen Howland; the letter books of the Nail Factory, the Iron Works, and the Troy Mill; the payroll of the Anawan Mill; letters and excerpts from various diaries; and three sermons preached by the Rev. Orin Fowler. Volume Two provides information on the Great Fire, the Night Watch, the Fall River Railroad, the community’s militia, and further letters and diary extracts.

Here is the direct link to the PDF file of Volume ONE.

When I interviewed the late Evan Hunter (aka Ed McBain) for LizzieAndrewBorden.com, I found him gracious and entirely accessible. I simply emailed him and asked for his thoughts and he wrote me right back and was perfectly wonderful in giving me his full attention. The interview I did with him is still online here.

A video interview with Hunter regarding his book about Lizzie Borden was placed on YouTube recently. Enjoy!

Noted forensic criminologist and professor at the University of Maryland will be appearing on CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood on May 4th.

Tomm was the featured interview in the last issue of The Hatchet: Lizzie Borden’s Journal of Murder, Mystery & Victorian History-—-having served as an expert on the most recent documentary on the case for Discovery Channel: Lizzie Borden Had an Axe.

Says Tomm,

The show is on from 9:00 to 1030 AM. I thought you might find it interesting. If there is some breaking news, it will be pushed to the next Sunday. You know how that goes. I don’t know long the segment will be, but it is a topic that they have been working on for a while. Thanks for watching! TOMM

I’ll be watching!

It has been a long wait. The first Curse of Lizzie Borden was a cracker jack movie. Campy, campy, campy. Now we have the second in the series. I ordered mine. Have you?

This is the same person who I wrote about here.

Remember, Rebecca, I didn’t say you were a sideshow, just that they treated you that way. Some of my favorite TV shows are Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead, GhostHunters, Most Haunted, and Rescue Mediums.
