520    Famous by her sixteenth birthday in 1900, Gibson Girl 
       Evelyn Nesbit was the most photographed woman of her era, 
       an iconic figure who set the standard for female beauty. 
       Women wanted to be her. Men wanted her. When her jealous 
       millionaire husband, Harry K. Thaw, killed her lover--
       celebrity architect Stanford White, builder of the 
       Washington Square Arch and much of New York City--she 
       found herself at the center of the "crime of the century" 
       and the scandal that marked the beginning of a national 
       obsession with youth, beauty, celebrity, and sex. The 
       story of Evelyn Nesbit is one of glamour, money, romance, 
       madness, and murder, and Paula Uruburu weaves all of these
       elements into an elegant narrative that reads like the 
       best fiction--only it's all true, a picture of America as 
       it crossed from the Victorian era into the modern.--From 
       publisher description. 
561    Gift of Dr. James H. Poivan, Professor of History, 
       Emeritus.
