description: "For the first time, here is a book that provides information on each and every individual involved in the Borden murder case and clarifies inconsistencies in spelling and attribution that have often bewildered Borden enthusiasts. Yesterday in Old Fall River lists in alphabetical order 650 people involved with the case, trial, and aftermath of the Lizzie Borden mystery, including suspects, witnesses, investigators, lawyers, jurors, Borden family members and associates. Each entry includes biographical information as well as an explanation of the person's connection to the murders. The book includes a subject index that allows the reader to find lists of all the policemen, lawyers, physicians, etc., involved in the case. It also features dozens of illustrations of the people whose lives were caught up in the Fall River mystery. Scholars and aficionados of the Borden murders will find this book to be a valuable reference and an important guide, not only to the case itself, but also to social conventions and individual histories of the 1890s."--BOOK JACKET.
