Opis

On the last, cold Sunday of February 1859, Daniel Sickles shot his wife's lover in Washington's Lafayette Square, just across from the White House. This title tells the story of that killing and its repercussions. It recreates an extraordinary period, when women were punished for violating codes of society that did not bind men.
