It all started with murder in Virginia in 1587, when Captain John Lane decided to kill Native Americans for what he believed were stores of corn. From there and then crimes including kidnapping, highway robbery, insurrection spread north, south, and finally west, with sojourns into mass murder of prisoners, spying and assassination in the Civil War, and the decidedly deadly introduction of the six-shooter into settler life. Crime writer Rosen sorts the mayhem by time and place describing crimes and trends that influenced the course of American history and the steps taken to restore law and order, ranging from the early violence in Virginia to swindlers, bootleggers and felonious families across the US, right up to the rise of organized crime and terrorism. He includes period photographs and illustrations, popular song lyrics and newspaper stories as well as a comprehensive set of maps. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Historical Atlas of American Crime
Oh, America Past and Present, my old frenemy. I remember all those nights I spent with you: stressing and worrying and waking up with highlighter on my face. I remember waking up after three hours of sleep feeling gross because I hadn't showered the night before and red eyes because I slept in my contacts. Sometimes I liked you when I went to study group and we quizzed each other over coffee. You were even useful when I wanted to kill the fly on my ceiling.
Still, I am glad to be done with you. I actually sleep at night now without a crank in my neck from sleeping on a textbook. I shower every day, and I have free time on the weekends. I don't have to freak out over anything AP, just getting into college (which I have already). Overall, I don't miss you, America Past and Present. I don't think anyone ever misses you. I do wish I could get someone to buy you off me though. That would be nice.
