Summary
At a remote little inn not far from the Kansas homestead of Laura Ingalls Wilder lived the Bender family. These pioneers welcomed unwary visitors with jackrabbit stew and a sledgehammer to the skull.
In time, their apple orchard gave up its secrets - a burial ground for their mutilated victims, each stripped of their possessions. The devilish enterprise on “Hell’s Half-Acre” would earn the Bloody Benders an undying place in the annals of American infamy. But it was the mysterious fate of eldest daughter, Kate, that would make them the stuff of mythic campfire prairie tales.
Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie is part of Bloodlands, a chilling collection of short addictive historical narratives from bestselling true-crime master Harold Schechter. Spanning a century in our nation’s murderous past, Schechter resurrects nearly forgotten tales of madmen and thrill-killers that dominated the most sensational headlines of their day.

Interesting.
A nicely put together, interesting and well read short account about particularly depraved events at a homestead in Kansas around the mid- late 19th century.

Ok
Interesting information but the delivery was a tad dull and with a few out of date terms

Excellent addition to my true crime collection
A fascinating story, very well read. I'm one of those people who will listen to a handful of books over and over again, so I'm glad to be able to expand my library with this title.
