More Forgotten Murders from Alaska

By Betsy Longenbaugh

In this sequel to Forgotten Murders from Alaska's Capital, researcher and author Betsy Longenbaugh gives us ten more historic murders from five communities in Southeast Alaska. They include the murder of the Juneau man who enlisted, at age 15, to serve on the front lines of World War I, the brutal murder of a mother and child in the fishing town of Petersburg, and the dismemberment of her husband by a desperate woman in Sitka in the 1950s.

Relying on source documents that included contemporary newspaper accounts, court records and other historic archives, Longenbaugh brings to life the communities and events that led to these crimes. Explore a 1906 town whose main attraction is a natural hot spring, the immigrant communities that worked in Alaska's first salmon canneries, and the growth of crime when prohibition came to the Last Frontier.
