Book Description
New York Times Editors’ Choice Winner of the Bancroft Prize Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize Winner of the Gotham Book Prize Winner of the New York Society Library's New York City Book Award Journal of the American Revolution Book of the Year Winner of the David J. Langum, Sr. Prize in American Legal History A riveting Revolutionary Era drama of the first published rape trial in American history and its long, shattering aftermath, revealing how much has changed over two centuries—and how much has not On a moonless night in the summer of 1793 a crime was committed in the back room of a New York brothel—the kind of crime that even victims usually kept secret. Instead, seventeen-year-old seamstress Lanah Sawyer did what virtually no one in US history had done before: she charged a gentleman with rape. Her accusation sparked a raw courtroom drama and a relentless struggle for vindication that threatened both Lanah’s and her assailant’s lives. The trial exposed a predatory sexual underworld, sparked riots in the streets, and ignited a vigorous debate about class privilege and sexual double standards. The ongoing conflict attracted the nation’s top lawyers, including Alexander Hamilton, and shaped the development of American law. The crime and its consequences became a kind of parable about the power of seduction and the limits of justice. Eventually, Lanah Sawyer did succeed in holding her assailant accountable—but at a terrible cost to herself. Based on rigorous historical detective work, this book takes us from a chance encounter in the street into the sanctuaries of the city’s elite, the shadows of its brothels, and the despair of its debtors’ prison. The Sewing Girl's Tale shows that if our laws and our culture were changed by a persistent young woman and the power of words two hundred years ago, they can be changed again. Includes photographs

Marriages and Deaths Reported in the Fishkill Standard, Fishkill Landing, New York, 1874-1877

Book Description
These are abstracts of a microfilm of clippings from The Fishkill Standard, a four-page weekly newspaper published in Fishkill Landing, Dutchess County, New York. The Landing later merged with the village of Matteawan to become the village of Beacon, New York. The microfilm consists of a series of scrapbooks, into which an unknown archivist clipped and saved articles including the Local Records column, the Married and Died columns, and articles of local interest. This volume contains marriages, deaths, and other genealogical data from January 3, 1874 to December 29, 1877, arranged chronologically and with a full-name index. Women's names are indexed by what might be the middle or maiden name, if it was unclear which was given. The appendices include a list of signers of the Articles of Association, 1776; Pay Roll of Capt. Abram Schenk's Company; Company Returns While A. Schenk Commanded a Company; Memorial Stones; Pay Abstract of Subsistence Due to the Officers; Return of Bounty, July 1776; and names of the Boards of Supervisors of Dutchess County, 1874-1877. This work also includes maps of the Hudson River Valley, Poughkeepsie to Garrison's Towns of Dutchess County, about 1875. Because this time period included the Centennial of the United States, a series of articles entitled "Fishkill in the Revolution" were included. From these the author has extracted only a few, which may be of interest to people seeking information about their ancestors during the Revolution.
