Summary "The Great Harry Thaw Case; Or, A Woman's Sacrifice" by Benjamin H. Atwell is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the infamous trial of Harry K. Thaw, who assassinated the famed architect Stanford White. This case not only captivated America but also presented a sensational drama of love, betrayal, and the legal battles that ensued, highlighting the tragic figure of Evelyn Nesbit, the young woman caught between two powerful men. At the start of this gripping account, the author sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Thaw trial, emphasizing its historical significance and emotional depth.
