In the fall of 1875, a policeman discovered the bodies of four Italian immigrants hidden in the cellar of a ramshackle house in Denver. In this lecture, Pulitzer Prize finalist and 2024-2025 Rogers Distinguished Fellow Megan Kate Nelson draws from her current book project and explores the subsequent investigation. The pursuit of the suspects spanned over 200 miles, leading to the ringleader's confession and a series of murder trials. While “The Italian Murders” (as they came to be known) appeared to shore up popular views of frontier towns as inherently violent, Nelson shows how they revealed much more about politics, urbanization, and immigration in the American West during Reconstruction.
