SYNOPSIS
In 1806 thousands descended on Lenox, Massachusetts, for the hanging of Ephraim Wheeler, condemned for the rape of his 13-year-old daughter, Betsy. Using the trial report to reconstruct the crime and drawing on Wheeler’s jailhouse autobiography to unravel his troubled family history, the authors illuminate a rarely seen slice of early America.
