Lizzie article of interest

Posted today on AmericanHeritage.com Did Lizzie Borden Take an Ax . . . ? Published today for the anniversary of Lizzie’s acquittal. They have a couple of facts wrong: Abby was 64 (not 65), Abby was struck 19 times (not 20), and Porter’s book was published in 1893. Overall, a pretty good job! For those of you keeping track: the birth and death dates for these folks are:

Andrew: September 13, 1822 — August 4, 1892
Abby: January 21, 1828 — August 4, 1892
Lizzie: July 19, 1860 — June 1, 1927
Emma: March 1, 1851 — June 10, 1927

And the number of hacks?

Andrew: 10
Abby: 19

Let’s keep it straight people!
