From Boston to Moscow: a Smoking War and a Widow’s Tale
A sprawling Washington Star report recalls a Washington birthday ball with the Queen of Holland, then shifts to a grim Milwaukee area crime describing a shooting by Patrick Hunter, a fatal wounding of Michael and James Bradley, the pursuit, and a widow’s hardship. It closes with a long vignette on social intrigues and a scandalous elopement involving Miss Gordetin Grant and Mr Shackford, entangling family, betrayal, and tragedy across Mississippi and St Louis.
