"In addition to the texts of both books is much further material, including extracts from public journals relating to Maria Monk, additional information on what happened after her alleged escape, the case in her favor, and testimony of others in confirmation of her claims. There is also a supplement to Rebecca Reed's account."--Page 4 of cover
