Book of the Week (4/19/2021)

Wicked New Hampshire by Renee Mallett (Cheltenham, U.K.: The History Press, 2020).

New Hampshire author Renee Mallett brings us scandalous and dreadful stories from the Granite State in her new book, "Wicked New Hampshire".  

"Behind New Hampshire's scenic landscape lies some very dark history, ranging from horrible hangings to scandalous socialites. The Fireman's Riot of 1869 resulted in most of Manchester burning to the ground. New England's largest rumrunning gang was finally prosecuted due to an overdue library book. Madame Sherri so scandalized the Chesterfield area at the turn of the century that she now has a state park named after her. Author Renee Mallett reveals the surprising and sometimes shocking history from the Seacoast to the Great North Woods." --Publisher's blurb
