Journey back Inside The Blanket Fort as we continue our conversation with Charles H. Cosgrove, author of They Both Reached for the Gun: Beulah Annan, Maurine Watkins, and the Trial That Became Chicago.
The book provides the first full-length examination of the case surrounding Harry Kalsted’s death and expertly combines inquest and police records and interviews with the relatives of Beulah Annan, the defendant in the case, to analyze the trial, its participants, and the play based on these harrowing events.
Dr. Cosgrove has contributed a new foreword for the upcoming SIU Press re-release of the original Chicago. We asked Cosgrove about what his new foreword discusses.
