Dunbar Hollow: 1850 Horror At Its Worst In New York Based On A True Story

By Johnny Graves

Two missing boys. A calculated stepbrother. The 1850 American crime trail that shocked the nation. In September 1850, two young brothers-Stephen and David Lester-vanished from their rural home in Westerlo, New York. Left in the care of their stepbrother, Reuben Dunbar, the boys disappeared without a trace. What began as a frantic search through the dark surrounding woods quickly evolved into one of nineteenth-century America's most twisted criminal investigations. As blood-chilling evidence emerged, a quiet community was shattered by revelations of betrayal, greed, and calculated deception. The trial captivated the city of Albany, unfolding into a historic courtroom drama filled with intense legal arguments, controversial early forensic science, and a final confession that stunned the world. Written by paranormal investigator Johnny Graves, Dunbar Hollow is a haunting historical true crime narrative. It is perfect for fans of Devil in the White City, early forensic pathology, landmark murder trials, and unexplained historical hauntings.
