The Case of George W. Niven, Esq. by William Sampson (English) Paperback Book
44,97 €
Since it involved a corrupt lawyer, criminals and venal jailors, his trial was a perfect subject for a trial report, one of the most popular genres of antebellum literature. The affidavits of Niven's victims also provide a great deal of vital information about the daily lives of prisoners in the early decades of the Republic.
