About the event

June Guest Lecture: Barbara Weisberg

Barbara Weisberg will present on her book, Strong Passions: A Scandalous Divorce in Old New York. The book describes a case from 1862, in which Mary Strong stunned her husband, Peter, by confessing to a two-year affair with his brother. Peter sued Mary for divorce for adultery―the only grounds in New York―but not before she accused him of forcing her into an abortion and having his own affair with the abortionist. She then kidnapped their young daughter and disappeared.

The event will take place in the Carriage House behind the Anthony Musuem Visitor Center.
