“Contains twelve intriguing stories, true murder cases from New York’s North Country . . . Illuminates the dark side of northern New York’s early days (Murder By Gaslight). St. Lawrence County is known for its picturesque waters and pristine seasons. But underneath this fair facade lies a sordid past, rife with tales of killings and cunning, like the man who slashed his wife to death after instructing a constable to close the door and depart; a robbery that descended into the brutal axing of a mother and her two small children; the unsolved case of a young woman bludgeoned to death on school grounds in an upscale neighborhood; and the gruesome poisoning of one man at the hands of his son, his wife and her lover. Join author Cheri Farnsworth as she investigates these and other notorious cases of murder and mayhem in New York’s North Country. Includes photos!

Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Cock Cocks Cox Family: Descended From James and Sarah Cock of Killingworth Upon Mantinecock, in the Township of Oysterbay, Long Island, New York As the type of the first edition was about to be distributed there was found to be a greater demand for the work as relating to the descendants of James Cock the Quaker ancestor, 'and as it had proved impracticable to include in the first edition a number of lineages of allied families already in preparation, it has been thought advisable to issue a further edition of 105 copies. To that which has already appeared in the first edition is added a supplement of 71 pages of new matter, for the contents of which see page 404. In this is included all the corrections.

An examination of how nonprofessional archivists, especially media fans, practice cultural preservation on the Internet and how “digital cultural memory” differs radically from print-era archiving. The task of archiving was once entrusted only to museums, libraries, and other institutions that acted as repositories of culture in material form. But with the rise of digital networked media, a multitude of self-designated archivists—fans, pirates, hackers—have become practitioners of cultural preservation on the Internet. These nonprofessional archivists have democratized cultural memory, building freely accessible online archives of whatever content they consider suitable for digital preservation. In Rogue Archives, Abigail De Kosnik examines the practice of archiving in the transition from print to digital media, looking in particular at Internet fan fiction archives. De Kosnik explains that media users today regard all of mass culture as an archive, from which they can redeploy content for their own creations. Hence, “remix culture” and fan fiction are core genres of digital cultural production. De Kosnik explores, among other things, the anticanonical archiving styles of Internet preservationists; the volunteer labor of online archiving; how fan archives serve women and queer users as cultural resources; archivists' efforts to attract racially and sexually diverse content; and how digital archives adhere to the logics of performance more than the logics of print. She also considers the similarities and differences among free culture, free software, and fan communities, and uses digital humanities tools to quantify and visualize the size, user base, and rate of growth of several online fan archives.
