I spend a lot of time reading old newspapers, mostly pertaining to crime, of that wouldn't surprise you, right? I love looking for a story to write and how this piciculary blog post came about was a newspaper clipping I found from San Francisco in 1888, I will post the link below. A newspaper reporter wrote an article called Dead To The World, Women Buried Behind Bars Of The Penitentiary. They posted photos of these women and of course I needed to know more, so I made each women a tree and I have written some separate posts on some of them that I found lots of information on. I decided to write this post on the one's I found very little information on, because I feel they are just as important to remember.
