 Roanoke Times review of Frankie Silver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In 1832, 18-year-old Frankie Silver, suspected of murdering and dismembering her husband, was taken from her home in Burke County, N.C. into Morganton.
At the July 1833 hanging, Silver's father preempted her final words with the admonition, ” Die with it in you, Frankie!” So without ever giving voice to her story, Frances Stewart Silver died, and a chorus of voices soon rose to tell it for her.
But more important than factual accuracy is McCrumb's fidelity to the deep feelings Silver's story taps, feelings which led nearly three dozen prominent Morganton ladies to send a clemency petition to their governor.
