Product Description
Join Bielawa as he navigates a precarious path through the unforgettably macabre and scandalous misdeeds of Bridgeport.Beneath the smokestacks of the gritty cityscape of Bridgeport, Connecticut is the shocking criminal underbelly of this New England community. Sin and vice have long had a home on the shores of the Long Island Sound, and Bridgeport's sinister past is littered with tales of pirates, mobsters, bizarre Victorian murders, and even rumors of a doctor's attempts to reanimate the dead. Historian Michael J. Bielawa investigates such bizarre crimes as the unsolved murder of philanthropist James Beardsley, and the grisly discovery in Yellow Mill Pond during the 19th century, which helped legitimize forensic science. Join Bielawa as he navigates a precarious path through the unforgettably macabre and scandalous misdeeds of Bridgeport.
Customer Reviews
This author has written about Bridgeport, and these events from history, as they have never been written before. As non-fiction these tales draw the reader in with the promise of learning a bit of history, some mystery and intrigue from the past. Yet these stories display a special effervescence, a magical quality typically just found in fiction. The author's writing style is perfect! Personally, I somewhat prefer short stories like these and I do have a special place in my heart for the City of Bridgeport. The illustrations are great too.
