History and Culture by Bicycle: murder

This next series of articles will be about crimes of the past in the greater Siouxland area. This includes NE Nebraska and SE South Dakota as well as this area of NW Iowa.

The stories are from the newspaper articles of the time. The time line is from the 1800's to 1950. The articles will be published in chronological order by month, day, year and decade. In some of these articles only the decade is known as to when the crime took place. Some of the articles may jump around the chronological time line.

The types of crime range from theft to murder. The criminals range from common poor people to the wealthy to criminals involved in organized crime families. There is even one crime that has ties to an international criminal organization. Some of the crimes have never been solved, some have.

As with similar articles I have published in the past it is up to the readers to come to their own conclusions based on the information provided.
