The Redemption of Julia Bulette
Murder, Myth & the Hunt for a Serial Killer in Early Virginia City
About this book
One chill January night in 1867, a Virginia City prostitute was strangled to death in her bed.
The murderer was caught and hanged in front of a crowd of thousands, and the citizens of the Comstock considered the matter closed. More than 150 years later, the murder of Julia Bulette has become a local legend.
The man accused, John Millain, was suspected of killing before, but there would be no justice for those victims. Reduced to vague mentions in newspaper articles, little was left to tie their unsolved murders to that of Julia?s. Did John Millain leave a trail of tragedy that stretched from San Francisco?s Tenderloin neighborhood to Julia?s untimely end in Virginia City?
Author and award-winning journalist Robin Flinchum searches for the truth behind a string of murders in two of the richest cities in the early American West.
