Review: Brands, The Murder of Jim Fisk

The Murder of Jim Fisk for the Love of Josie Mansfield: A Tragedy of the Gilded AgeThe Murder of Jim Fisk for the Love of Josie Mansfield: A Tragedy of the Gilded Age by H.W. Brands

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Well-written and entertaining "popular history" account of the murder of Jim Fisk by the lover of one of his former mistresses. Not the place to go for in-depth analysis of anything, but gives a good portrait of the Gilded Age.
