The Mournful History of Susanna Cox

Timothy reads a broadside ballad from 1809 which tells the sad story of Susanna Cox, a poor young woman from Berks County, Pennsylvania, who may or may not have killed her infant and was hanged for the crime. Alison adds commentary, telling us which parts of the ballad are true, and tries to put together the details of the short life of Susanna Cox.
