Murder and Mayhem
In Murder and Mayhem, veteran author and genealogist Milli Knudsen looks at true crime in New Hampshire. In the rapidly changing world of 1883-1915, criminals and good citizens learned to cope with new ways to commit crimes and how to protect themselves. Emerging forensic science became a valuable tool.

Manchester in the Mirror
On 8 July 1865, four newspapers combined into one: The Mirror & Farmer. It was published once a week in Manchester, New Hampshire, by John B. Clarke and included advice on local farming and gardening, national and international news, labor activities associated with the mill (the town's main industry), and advertising. These abstracts from 1865 and 1866 cover court trials; social events such as births, marriages, and deaths; tax lists; and editorialized news items from the community. K2346HB - $29.50
