In September 1868, the murder of a prominent citizen shattered the tranquility and enraged the citizens of Delaware Water Gap, a village nestled in the Pocono Mountains of northeast Pennsylvania.
After robbing a hotel owned by Thomas Brodhead, drifters William Brooks and Charles Orme attempted to flee the area but were apprehended by Thomas and his brother, Theodore. The encounter left Theodore dead and Thomas badly mauled. Brooks and Orme were taken into custody within hours.
A five-day trial resulted in a first-degree murder conviction and the judge sentenced both young men to hang. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied their appeal. Desperate, they hatched an escape plan, which they bungled, and Orme found himself back in jail the next day. Brooks, however, avoided capture.
The hanging of Charles Orme took place in August 1869. It was shamefully botched and Orme suffered badly. After his burial, a minister opened an envelope which Orme entrusted to him. The contents were surprisingly insightful and useful.
Twenty-five years passed and memories of the first murder and execution began to fade. Then, Brooks resurfaced and a young sheriff had to decide what was best for the law and the locals.

Описание: Excerpt from The American Woods, Vol. 13: Illustrated by Actual Specimens, With Full d104; Representing Twenty-Five Species by Twenty-Five Sets of Sections The woods of twenty - five species of these tropical trees have been collected and are shown in the illustrative specimens of this volume. After an extended experience in collecting and sectioning woods, covering now over three hundred species, for use in american woods (see announcement at the close of this volume), the writer has not, in all of them together, found as many surprises in unusual structures, etc., as he has found in gathering those for this volume. Of a few of them it was found impossible to make transverse sections suitable for use, owing to their brittle nature. Oi others we were unable to make sections of the standard thickness adopted in american Woons, but we could make them thinner. A few of the transverse sections we have had to reduce in size, and the Very thin ones we have had to protect with celluloid or mica on account of their fragile nature.

Описание: Excerpt from On Railroad Injuries of the Extremities of the Human Body: With Observations on the Site of Amputation and Subsequent Treatment of the Stump In some cases it has been observed that the muscles slough to a much greater extent than the skin, giving the stump a cupped appearance, with the bone projecting from the centre; the whole resembling an old fashioned candlestick. Since the introduction of anaesthetics, shock from ope ration has been reduced to a minimum, and therefore-the removal of a few more inches of the limb, is of very little consequence so far as the safety of the individual is con cerned and the perfection reached in the adaptation of artificial limbs amply compensates for the increased shortening. All these considerations should outweigh the risks of amputation in the immediate proximity of the injury.
