  • note, York University Library Catalogue :
    • "First printed in New York in 1844, an edition was published in Frederickton, New Brunswick the same year as the Montreal edition. Most likely fictitious [the Frederickton edition claims she was executed in Frederickton in April, 1845, while the Montreal edition puts her untimely demise in that city in January], but a particularly gruesome entry in the "true crime" genre. In his preface Jackson implies that Ms. Hamilton was the product of the depravities of an urban upbringing and pitches his tale as a cautionary example to parents. Her many crimes are recounted in detail. Hamilton supposedly was widowed at nineteen by poisoning her elderly husband. She then set herself up as a tavern-keeper and went on to rob and murder several of her guests. Her house was also used as a way-station for smugglers operating between Frederickton and Calais, Maine. The final few pages print her confession, graced by an illustration of her in prison. The title-page vignette shows Hamilton standing over one of her victims, and the frontispiece shows a highway robbery."--Lawbook Exchange catalogue listing.
    • Item Description: Apparently fictitious. A reproduction of the text, published in Montreal, gives Montreal as the place of execution and the 22nd of January as the date.

  • "Ann Walters is accused of more than a dozen gruesome stabbings, and while the accounts of her crimes are, according to Cohen’s Bibliography of Early American Law, “generally considered to be fictitious” (the same crimes, detail for detail, often word for word, are attributed to Walters, to a woman named Sophia Hamilton, and to yet another woman, Mary Jane Gordon; the crimes are reported to have taken place in England, in Maine, and in Maryland, during the 1810s, the 1820s, and the 1840s… though court records are always mysteriously lacking) they provide insight into the 19th-century zeitgeist: “Readers may easily perceive that [Walters] location was in a slave state [Maryland] where morality is not very exalted, as such a course could not have been carried on in a free state so long, without meeting the eye of detection.” source
