Francis Russell Letters
Description:
Francis Russell was an American author specializing in American history and historical figures. His research led to the award winning book \Tragedy In Dedham : The Story of the Sacco-Vanzetti Case\ (1962). In this letter from John Conrad, a Bostonian, to Russell, he mentions a polygraph test conducted on Joseph Samarco in regard to the Sacco-Vanzetti case. The Sacco-Vanzetti Case garnered an enduring national and global interest even decades after their excution. This letter and others found in the collection shed insight into the constant efforts of prominent figures and scholars to exonierate Sacco and Vanzetti.
