The old ones are perfectly satisfactory. . . . I hope you will find these murders interesting. I regret that I could not report the most ingenious and remarkable ones. They looked like accidents or natural deaths and were never discovered.\"--Walter N. Trenerry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMurder in Minnesota features some of the state's most infamous criminals--a collection of fascinating and disagreeable characters usually ignored by historians. They live again in these pages as the conniving, clever, mad, or pitiful creatures they were. Fifteen chapters--involving both well-known and obscure practitioners of the deadly art--tell the stories of Ann Blansky, the only woman hanged in Minnesota; the famous Younger brothers, who with the James boys robbed the Northfield bank in 1876; the six Arbogast women of St. Paul, who kept a murderous secret that still remains undisclosed; and many more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Murder in Minnesota: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"You should not overlook this exemplary work.\"--New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An exemplary treatment of regional history as revealed by the spotlight of crime.
