Thread Name: History: Tom Dooley didn't kill Laura Foster?!?
Subject: RE: Tom Dooley didn't kill Laura Foster?!?
On my blog, Murder by Gaslight, I have posted the story of the murder of Laura Foster by Tom Dula:

Hang Down Your Head Tom Dula

I have also posted the stories behind a numbeer of other American murder ballads. As you would expect, the stories never quite match the songs.
