Condition is overall Good Plus.** Catharine Read Williams (1787-1872) lived most of her life in Rhode Island, where she supported herself and her daughter by a productive literary career. Fall River recreates a notorious incident in the mill town of Fall River, the trial of a Methodist minister for the murder of a pregnant mill worker whom it was suspected he had seduced. Williams's account is somewhat romanticized, but her mixture of journalism, biography, fiction, and exhortation constitutes a challenge to traditional notions of literary form and yields fresh insights into the nature of early American women's writing.** First Edition.

"When Sarah Cornell was found hanging from the frame of a haystack in Tiverton, Rhode Island, it might easily have been called suicide but for a note she had left in her bandbox saying, 'If I should be missing, enquire of the Rev. Mr. Avery, of Bristol,--he will know where I am.' This was the beginning of the Reverend's troubles and one of the most famous nineteenth-century cases" (McDade). The evidence against Avery in the court of public opinion was damning: Cornell was five months pregnant and Avery had been seen in the vicinity of the haystack on the day of her death. After a 27-day trial, however, he was acquitted. McDade notes that "while the verdict was undoubtedly sound on the evidence as presented, there is still enough doubt to make the case an interesting one for conjecture," and many writers took advantage of this opportunity. Williams, the author of this highly detailed, though somewhat romanticized account was a Rhode Island writer, poet and woman's suffrage activist. The work was reissued in 1834.

Sarah Cornell, a devout Methodist and mill weaver, was molested by a Methodist minister at a camp meeting, pregnancy ensued followed shortly by death. This is the story of the murder investigation, testimonies of the witnesses, clues, background and showing how the murderer was protected by the church he represented and whitewashed while she, representing also women mill-workers as a group, was blackened and cheapened. The adverse effect of the case on the town and the people involved, as well as the extremes the Methodist church was willing to go to to protect their representative, with bribery,threats and lies are exposed as are the abuses of the legal system involved. The minister went free. The author compiled the information and did her own research to expose this case of misjustice and ministerial abuse of trust. It was interesting also in showing how people then, as today, come forth as witnesses for the attention and recognition. The minister was so over-alibied that more time was accounted for than in the given time segment questioned. An interesting work of criminology and people.
