>> i actually found the kernel of the idea here at harvard he harvard university online collection. i found a collection of materials that belonged to one of the detectives who worked on the case james woods. he was the one that went after him. so if you look actually in his files, he was one of the earliest detectives in boston and was the first detective who opened up the first detective agency in new england. so his bios span from the 1860s to 1933 want to say. his son took over the seeing you have probably thousands of volumes, and this was the one that really stuck with him the most because he said that never seen anyone as vicious as jesse as young as he was. so that collection was the first one that i looked at. also, the state archives have all the trial records, have all the information as well. the state house has a lot of the material. bridgewater, where he went later on, the state reform school now daze is called the school for boys, changed its name. so they have a lot of -- the boston the bpl they have thousands of articles written about him. so, at the time boston had

and harvard has a very long list of cases he worked on in one was this case. in fact, he was one of the yen this serial killers he had worked on. is seemed like a good topic for my next book. i did not know too much. few people had heard so restarted to have places around the city. but to be born in charles town 1859, a board with the local board some american had a defect in his white i. people made fun of him quite a bit. ready was abused because he looked different and he really get abused at school. children who were much older and bigger trade him pay dearly for that. his own father believed maybe he was possessed it was a sign of the double that something terrible was within him and his father abused him terribly so he grew up knowing quite a lot of pain. the only way he could control that is he started to abuse children that were much smaller than he was. people did not know what was him early on but they found out 1871 with the children across the street started to talk about a young boy who would be fran them to take them places and give them candy or

, then a harvard then a chicago. a book that was published in 1987 truly disadvantaged. that book argued very persuasively and importantly that part of the problems faced by low income african-americans had to do with processes of the -- deindustrialization. and i was curious to no whether that actually was happening in baltimore because as you know baltimore was a mid-level industrial city 1970s. about 34,000 people were employed by bethlehem steel. by the time i started looking into this question much smaller number of people were employed by bethlehem steel as bethlehem steel had been curtailing operations and moving them to overseas locations. as i tried to write in this book, it was not difficult to confirm what wilson had found in chicago that deindustrialization,, that deindustrialization, the closure of factories and other industrial facilities had had an especially dire effect upon african-american workers. then something surprising happened. i found myself surrounded i hope it adds to knowledge production i
