This book details the life of Jennie May Walker Burleson, a Galveston , Texas native and daughter of a prominent family. May Walker Burleson was a remarkable woman in many ways . She campaigned for women' sufferage in the early 1900s, was active in Democratic politics and joined an archeology expedition in Mexico. Unfortunately, her marriage to Richard Coke Burleson, an army officer suffered due to her long absences from home. Eventually, the couple divorced, and Richard remarried. The book relates how May killed Richard's second wife and what happened during her trial and afterwards. I highly recommend this book to true crime readers as well as those interested in history.
