This program is part of our series Notorious: Maine Crime in the Public Eye, 1690–1940 and offered in conjunction with the exhibit of the same name.When digging into the history of an old house in Maine's Belgrade region, Linda Snow McLoon uncovered the fascinating story of the mystery woman who built the place on Salmon Lake in 1906. Although "Miss Pattee" had tried to keep her family’s past a secret, the truth revealed the fascinating story of her father’s checkered past as one of the biggest crooks of the 19th century. Join us as we trace a spinster's trail from Maine's Belgrade Lakes to the halls of Congress and the biggest fraud of the 19th century!
