INTRODUCTION
One reason the Borden murders continue to fascinate is because they present several questions. The geography and spatial relationships of Fall River in 1892 provides the context for some of these questions. This study looks at these three specifically:
- What was the Fall River community like in 1892?
- How prominent was Mr. Andrew Borden, and what was the extent of his influence?
- Can geography provide clues about motive for the Borden murders?
