16pp, side-stitched. Woodcut of three coffins on title page. Untrimmed. Spotted. Old horizontal crease with some light wear. Good. "John Love, an itinerant who boarded with one of the Thayer brothers, aroused their cupidity by the money he used in a small loan business. On a day selected because they were slaughtering hogs, the brothers shot Love first and finished him off with an ax. More than two months passed before suspicions were aroused by the not very sensible explanations which the Thayers were giving for their possession of Love's property. When the body was found in the woods, they were tried, convicted, and finally hanged in a field outside Buffalo" [McDade]. "Boston, New York, the place of printing, was a small village south of Buffalo" [Cohen]. This is one of its earliest imprints. The title page cut of the coffins is eye-catching. Anti-Andrew Jackson broadsides of the period sometimes included a similar motif to commemorate the executions he carried out during his Florida campaign. McDade 971n. Sabin 95266. Cohen 13087. Not in Eberstadt or Decker.…
