Criminal Accounts and Articles Compiled by James Rodney Wood, Jr., 1816-1934

Scope and Contents

The final series in the collection offers the broadest range of written materials. Over three hundred accounts and articles are featured, highlighting crimes, criminals and miscellaneous notables. It is believed that these materials were copied from various publications printed between 1928 and 1934. Although it has not been verified, the initials and date following at the end of each item suggests a citation of the author and the newspaper in which the article was originally printed.
