BOOK VERY GOOD. No Dustjacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 230pp. A VERY CLEAN, NICE COPY OF THIS SCARCE TITLE. The title is in gilt on the cover. The cover is deep purple and is in nice ondition. A very difficult book to obtain as a first edition/first printing. This is only the second copy we have seen in over twenty five years. The true story of the notorious Bighams. Legend has it that the family and friends destroyed many copies of this book. From the title page "With illustrations from the album of a strange family who by their own misdeeds have become extinct.". Includes four glossy illustrations: Leonard Bigham, first of the Bigham clan; the oak where Ruth Crisp Bigham was killed, L. Smiley Bigham, for whose murder Edmund stood trial three times; Edmund Bigham and wife. From the preface: A family that produced teachers, senators, doctors and everyone of them master criminals. A mystery family charged with many crimes but so cleverly manipulated that only one of them has ever paid the state it's penalty, and then only after the Supreme Court of the State of SC had made a special ruling to cover this particular case.
