Adirondack Tragedy: The Gillette Murder Case of 1906
Joseph Brownell was a young boy in the Adirondack foothills when he overheard his relatives talking about the excitement of an earlier day—a girl died in Big Moose Lake and her friend was accused of murder. Then, years later, he moved to Cortland where the story had started in 1906. He is a geographer, retired from SUNY Cortland. He has done many interviews as an authority on the Gillette Case.
