Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie (Bloodlands collection)

Description

At a remote little inn not far from the Kansas homestead of Laura Ingalls Wilder lived the Bender circle of relatives. These pioneers welcomed unwary visitors with jackrabbit stew and a sledgehammer to the skull.

In time, their apple orchard gave up its secrets—a burial ground for their mutilated sufferers, every stripped of their possessions. The devilish enterprise on “Hell’s Half-Acre” would earn the Bloody Benders an undying place within the annals of American infamy. However it was once the mysterious fate of eldest daughter, Kate, that would cause them to the stuff of mythic campfire prairie tales.

Little Slaughterhouse at the Prairie is part of Bloodlands, a chilling selection of short page-turning historical narratives from bestselling true-crime master Harold Schechter. Spanning a century in our nation’s murderous past, Schechter resurrects nearly forgotten tales of madmen and thrill-killers that dominated probably the most sensational headlines of their day.
