A History of Native American Land Rights in Upstate New York
Author: Cindy Amrhein
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1626199310
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
A complex and troubled history defines the borders of upstate New York beyond the physical boundaries of its rivers and lakes. The United States and the state were often deceptive in their territory negotiations with the Iroquois Six Nations. Amidst the growing quest for more land among settlers and then fledgling Americans, the Indian nations attempted to maintain their autonomy. Yet state land continued to encroach the Six Nations. Local historian Cindy Amrhein takes a close and critical view of these transactions. Evidence of dubious deals, bribes, faulty surveys and coerced signatures may help explain why many of the Nations now feel they were cheated out of their territory.

Bread and Butter the Murders of Polly Frisch
Author: Cindy Amrhein
Publisher: Historysleuth Publications
ISBN: 9780989553308
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Polly stayed by her husband Henry Hoag day and night through his illness that July of 1856. It seemed he had once again contracted cholera morbus. Henry suffered from nausea and stomach cramps that caused him intense pain. The doctors from Alabama Center were called, but despite all their efforts, Henry died. Three weeks later their six-year-old daughter Frances, displaying the same symptoms as her father, also died. Polly remarried that fall to a man named Otto Frisch. It would be a short marriage. Her new husband deserted her in October the following year. Shortly after he left, Polly and Henry's 21-month-old daughter Eliza Jane died of mysterious causes. The town's people of Alabama agreed that they saw no lack of attention on Polly's part towards Henry and the children. Then why, in November of 1857, was she indicted for killing her husband and daughters? The punishment for such a crime was the gallows. Would Polly be the first woman in Genesee County history to be hanged for murder? In 1856, in the rural town of Alabama, NY one woman's family suffered from multiple unexplained deaths. The town folk grew suspicious of the now remarried Polly Frisch. An investigation commenced, bodies were exhumed, an affair--exposed. Polly would be arrested for the murders of her first husband and daughters. Her fourteen-year-old son would testify against her. If found guilty, the punishment for such a crime was the gallows. Bread & Butter is the true story of Polly Frisch who poisoned her family with arsenic and the five trials it took to convict her.
