It is a wonderful story and I would buy the book. Amazing though how money always talks. Eleven years is a large chunk out of one's life to be incarcerated, but the wife's life was over before it had hardly started.

We enjoyed reading it. I would like to see this made into a movie.

Perhaps I should add that newspapers in the early 1900s were THE
source. There was no TV, the electric and telephone wires were just being strung to rural areas, so it was radio - if you had a receiver powerful enough to pick up the broadcasts - or the daily paper. Weddings, obits, family reunions, local celebrations and birth announcements - and arrest reports picked up from the local police station, were all in the paper.
