Beschreibung zu „Who killed Laura Foster?“
The murder of Laura Foster in 1866 has been the source of many legends and both in fiction and non-fiction it has inspired many authors.
The murder, which in the end led to the conviction and execution of Thomas C. Dula, also inspired the famous song, The Ballad of Tom Dooley.
In this book I go through the surviving records from the time and tell the story based on these facts, before I try to give my own explanation of what actually happened in Western North Carolina in the difficult times following the American Civil War.
