Bread & Butter: The Murders of Polly Frisch
"Cindy Amrhein and Ellen Lea Bachorski have put together a well-researched, richly-detailed, cogently-reasoned history of Polly Frisch, indicted in the 1856 and 1857 arsenic-involved deaths of her first husband Henry Hoag and two of the Hoag children." --NYCHS Polly Hoag lived in the town of Alabama, NY with her husband Henry and her four children. In the fall of 1855 Polly had her fortune told during the town's election party. Her future foretold that two of her family would die; and one of them would not be her. No one at the time knew what Polly was planning. This fortune would turn out to be the catalyst for Polly's plans.
