About the Book

In 1856, in the rural town of Alabama, NY one woman's family suffered from multiple unexplained deaths. The town folk grew suspicious of the now remarried Polly Frisch. An investigation commenced, bodies were exhumed, an affair-exposed. Polly would be arrested for the murders of her first husband and daughters. Her fourteen-year-old son would testify against her. If found guilty, the punishment for such a crime was the gallows. Would Polly be the first woman in Genesee County history to be hanged for murder? Bread & Butter is the true story of Polly Frisch who poisoned her family with arsenic and the five trials it took to convict her. This 19th century true crime has been extensively researched by the authors, containing a six page bibliography and 20 images.
About the Author: Cindy Amrhein was the Historian for the town of Alabama from 1997 to 2007. She also served as a museum aide at the Holland Land Office Museum in Batavia. Cindy became fascinated with the town's history when she moved into the area in 1990. She now lives in Wyoming County, NY where she has been the Assistant County Historian since 2007. She is a founding member and the webmaster for the Government Appointed Historians of Western New York. When she's not writing historical true crime, you can find her plotting out murder mysteries. Ellen Lea Bachorski was the president of the Alabama Historical Society, and the museum director for the Town of Alabama Museum during the writing of this book. She lived in Alabama for over 15 years and operating a store called The Trading Post in the Hamlet of Basom where the authors met. Ellen currently volunteers for several not-for-profit organizations within her community. She is currently a member of the Friends of Batavia Peace Garden and serves on the board of the Historic Batavia Cemetery.
