Cold Iron:
Murder on Old Street

The weather was pulling the devil by the tail that night in 1826 when they dragged the town blacksmith in off the street. He had been butchered on Old Street, in Petersburg, Virginia not twenty yards from his residence. No citizen of the town felt safe after dark. Bolts slammed down across heavy doors at dusk to shut out the terror of the assailant who thirsted for blood.
