Vintage Vermont Villanies
True Tales of Murder & Mystery from the 19th and 20th Centuries
John Stark Bellamy II
Containing accounts of ten classic murders and two inexplicable disappearances, Vintage Vermont Villainies is a veritable best of the best of Vermont homicides occurring between 1874 and 1957. Bellamy's catalog of miscreants includes Mary Rogers, whose seduction of two brothers paved the way to eliminating her inconvenient husband; and John Winters, whose date with the electric chair enlisted the sympathies of Clarence Darrow. This is true crime for every country home bed table.
"Mr. Bellamy has given us a veritable rogue's gallery of Vermont's classic villains and their murderous masterpieces. This well-researched, vastly readable volume will be treasured by every mystery fan, true crime buff, local historian, and lover of chilling Vermont lore."
Joseph A. Citro, author of Passing Strange and Curious New England
