The Murder Of Eunice Rockefeller

Plot

On May 12, 1864, Edward Rockefeller returned to Keokuk, Iowa from a nine-month trip down South. Two days later, Eunice Rockefeller was dead from a gunshot wound. The family story includes jealousy, murder, wounded confederate soldiers, and the richest man in US history. The Murder of Eunice Rockefeller: An Unfortunate Affair provides an historical account of these events, as well as a unique look at justice and the status of women when Iowa was on America's frontier.
