Olive Wolley Burt (1894-1981) was an American journalist, teacher, writer, and folklorist, best known for her works in juvenile literature and for the present work, her only book written for an adut audience. Burt had a lifelong fascination with true crime stories, noting that in her childhood her mother clipped "mournful verses from newspapers and saved them in a scrapbook" and would sing dark lullabies to her children. While workinig at the DESERET NEWS in Salt Lake City during the late 1940s and 1950s, Burt began to compile research on American murder ballads, leading to the publication of this extensive work, which in 1959 eanred a special Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America. The volume today is scarce.
