Within the pages of Murder, Crime & Funky Stuff mayhem and interesting tid-bits abound from the 1840's through to the 1970's primarily in Schoharie County, NY but also includes murders etc. from Albany, Columbia, Delaware, Fulton, Greene, Herkimer, Montgomery, Otsego, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady Counties. The stories, found in numerous area newspapers, are about murders (37 of them), robberies, kidnappings, elopements, adultery, fires and death by train. Also includes chapters on Schoharie County Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camps 1934-1941; Prohibition 1920-1933 and Aviation 1920's-1970's. There are also articles about the Anti-Rent Wars, the Polly Hollowites, hot air balloons, run-aways, cock fights, the Blenheim Bridge and the last passenger train running in Schoharie. Since my first book of Schoharie County Murders & Funky Stuff is my best selling book I thought I would expand on what I started by adding additional tid-bits and or "the rest of the story" pertaining to some of the articles in my first book plus I have added newly discovered murders and what-not from Schoharie County and neighboring counties. With every story I try to find out what was going on in their life previous to the crime and what happened to the criminal and their family following the dirty deed. I often found where individuals were buried via findagrave.com. If an article has very little background information with it that means I just could not find much, which does not mean that the information is not out there; it just means I could not find it. Although, my combination of internet and boots-on-the-ground research usually garners results. Be aware that I copied what I found so some of the phraseology is coarse compared to todays standards.
