The Infamous Harry Hayward
Author: Shawn Francis Peters
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452957118
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
A fascinating tale of seduction, murder, fraud, coercion—and the trial of the “Minneapolis Monster” On a winter night in 1894, a young woman’s body was found in the middle of a road near Lake Calhoun on the outskirts of Minneapolis. She had been shot through the head. The murder of Kittie Ging, a twenty-nine-year-old dressmaker, was the final act in a melodrama of seduction and betrayal, petty crimes and monstrous deeds that would obsess reporters and their readers across the nation when the man who likely arranged her killing came to trial the following spring. Shawn Francis Peters unravels that sordid, spellbinding story in his account of the trial of Harry Hayward, a serial seducer and schemer whom some deemed a “Svengali,” others a “Machiavelli,” and others a “lunatic” and “man without a soul.” Dubbed “one of the greatest criminals the world has ever seen” by the famed detective William Pinkerton, Harry Hayward was an inveterate and cunning plotter of crimes large and small, dabbling in arson, insurance fraud, counterfeiting, and illegal gambling. His life story, told in full for the first time here, takes us into shadowy corners of the nineteenth century, including mesmerism, psychopathy, spiritualism, yellow journalism, and capital punishment. From the horrible fate of an independent young businesswoman who challenged Victorian mores to the shocking confession of Hayward on the eve of his execution (which, if true, would have made him a serial killer), The Infamous Harry Hayward unfolds a transfixing tale of one of the most notorious criminals in America during the Gilded Age.

Ridgelands! The Closing of a Frontier
Author: Sherman Lewis
Publisher: Hayward Area Planning Association
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
In 1950, the open space lands from Hayward to Pleasanton in California were privately owned and sprawl development was booming. By 2020, the frontier was closed, and almost all the shorelands and ridgelands in this large area were protected as public open space and by regulation. The land was saved by many advocates and these are their stories, many narratives sometimes parallel to each other, other times connecting, involving elections, referendums, litigation, bond measures, lobbying, organizing, and campaigns. Each story is simple enough, but taken together they add up to a long and complex history.

Hayward's Botanists' Pocket-book
Author: W. R. Hayward
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Botany
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
"Having been requested to re-edit Hayward's very useful 'Botanist's pocket-book,' I found that the large amount of excellent field-work which has been done in Britain during the last thirty years made it necessary to widen its scope considerably. At the same time, the original plan, where possible, has been retained. The work in this compressed form necessarily cannot include complete descriptions; it is intended merely to enable the botanist in the field to name his specimens approximately, and to refresh the memory of the more advaned worker who may use it. Almost all the important species and varieties, and the more completely established alien species mentioned in Syme's Edition of 'English botany,' in my 'List of British plants,' and in the 10th Edition of the 'London catalogue,' will be found included"--Preface to the thirteenth edition.
