Being a Comprehensive and Factual Account of the Miserable Life of Delia Barber (Griswold) Potter (1829-1872), Her Husband Charlie, and Their Alleged Crimes, including Murder, Robbery, Receiving Stolen Goods, Possession of Burglar's Tools, Bribery, Perjury, Spousal Desertion, Adultery, Debt Evasion, Affray, Draft Dodging, Smuggling, Bootlegging, Counterfeiting, Lying, Cheating, and Poisoning Horses Do you know the full story behind Williston, Vermont's most sensational murder, the 1865 killing of Sally Griswold? Learn all the details in this comprehensive true-crime account of Delia and Charlie Potter and their alleged exploits, from murder to robbery, debt evasion, draft desertion, counterfeiting, bootlegging, and more. Dangerous Characters pulls together previously overlooked sources to portray the Potters and the Griswolds, two families shattered by abuse, inheritance, and greed. The Gold Rush, out-migration, temperance activism, and ambivalence about the Civil War all play a role. This engaging and meticulously researched story will appeal to lovers of local history, true crime, and family drama.
