Description:
The Holmes-Pitezel Case contains historical references concerning the lost counties, cities, and towns of Virginia. A narrative written by Detective Frank Pierce Geyer about the state of affairs in Philadelphia in 1896 and the court of Oyer and Terminer, it is considered the crime of the 19th century; in 1932 the Albert Fish case happens to be the other half of the 20th century search of the missing Pitezel children. From a non-criminal standpoint, Detective Geyer is a member of the Frankford Mason lodge. Kent County near Newtown and Harford County are two counties to which referred. Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia no longer now exists. Tried in Virginia, the colonists were not killed by the Virginia Indians circa 1584.
