Yorkshires Murderous Women
Presents stories of murder by women in all parts of Yorkshire - tales of marital tension and tragedy and sad accounts of infanticide while under mental duress.

My birthplace, Gordon, Ohio, was thought to be the place to live in Darke County, Ohio. It was carved out of a vast wilderness that was ripe with wolves, bear and screaming panthers. Newspaper columns proclaimed its potential and how it would become a big town-larger than Arcanum and rivaling Greenville, the county seat.

Learn who were those brave resistance people, what they did, how they did it and where they lived. They hid and cared for escaped allied soldiers in the face of a brutal occupation and saw the soldiers across the frontier into Holland to fight again. They were the true Obscure Heroes of Liberty.
