Sinopse

"Wild West" explores the tumultuous 19th-century American West, dissecting the reality behind popular myths. It argues that the era was shaped by weak governance, economic opportunism, and violent conflict, rather than simply unchecked freedom. The book examines how the absence of legal structures led to the rise of vigilantes and outlaws, profoundly impacting settlers and Native Americans.

 
One intriguing fact is the rapid westward expansion fueled by the promise of land and gold created displacement and resource battles. The book examines key figures like Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid through primary sources. It traces the evolution of law enforcement and the social and economic factors that contributed to a culture of violence.

 
Beginning with the causes and manifestations of lawlessness, it progresses to analyze settlement expansion’s impact on the environment and indigenous populations. It offers a grounded perspective on the era, challenging romanticized notions and providing a balanced view of its complexities.

The Alice Crimmins Case

Anais Renevier

New York, Summer of 1965. 
 
 
 
One hot summer, two young children disappeared from their first-floor apartment in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, New York. Their mother, Alice Crimmins, reported them missing to the police. Later that day, the body of four-year-old Missy was found in a vacant lot, showing signs of having been strangled. The body of five-year-old Eddie, Jr., was found several days later. 
 
 
 
Police were immediately suspicious of the mother. Recently divorced, with teased red hair and heavy makeup, Alice Crimmins did not fit the maternal ideal held by the predominantly Catholic police detectives on the case. Her every action was scrutinized: Was she behaving like a grief-stricken mother or like a coldhearted killer? After three years of police surveillance, Alice was charged with the murder of her children in 1968 in a highly publicized trial. Ultimately found guilty of manslaughter, Alice spent a decade in prison before being released on parole in 1977. 
 
 
 
But was she truly guilty, or just the victim of police bias and misogynistic judgment? Journalist Anaïs Renevier revisits the case, exploring one of the most famous and divisive trials in recent American history.
