Aprašymas

"A great read and a fascinating retelling of a long-forgotten murder, that still resonates to this very day... for anybody interested in the history of the Silk City!" -Mark S. Auerbach, City Historian, Passaic, New Jersey

At the dawn of the 20^th century, the social unrest in Paterson, New Jersey was palpable. Thousands of Dutch and Italian immigrants flocked to the city, hoping for a job in Paterson's famous silk mills. The burgeoning population ushered women into the workplace, grew suffragist sympathies, and produced an anarchist movement.

In this charged environment, Jennie Bosschieter, a 17-year-old Dutch immigrant and mill worker, was murdered. Sorrow turned to shock when four wealthy, influential citizens were accused of killing her. The resulting criminal trial held the city - and eventually the nation - transfixed.
