The Lives of Helen Jewett, and Richard P. Robinson is a non-fiction book written by George Wilkes in 1849. The book is a detailed account of the lives of two individuals, Helen Jewett and Richard P. Robinson, who were involved in a scandalous murder case in New York City in 1836. Helen Jewett was a young and beautiful prostitute who was murdered in her bed by an unknown assailant. Richard P. Robinson, a wealthy merchant, was accused of the murder and stood trial for the crime. The trial was sensationalized by the media and became one of the most talked-about events of the time.The book provides a detailed account of the lives of both Jewett and Robinson, as well as the events leading up to the murder and the subsequent trial. Wilkes delves into the social and cultural context of the time, exploring the role of prostitution, class, and gender in 19th-century America.The Lives of Helen Jewett, and Richard P. Robinson is not only a gripping true crime story but also a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural history of 19th-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
