SUMMARY:The Legend of Dead Man's Hollow
DESCRIPTION:Local histories identify two nests of vice and corruption in Arlington during the early years of the 20th century: Rosslyn at the foot of the Aqueduct Bridge\, and Jackson City on the County side of the Long Bridge. Both areas were marked by drinking\, gambling\, sex workers\, political corruption\, and murder – murder so frequent that corpses were found nearly every week in Rosslyn’s Dead Man’s Hollow and Jackson City’s Hell’s Bottom. As the story goes\, it would take crusading Commonwealth’s Attorney Crandall Mackey’s closure of these dens of iniquity for Arlington take off as a desirable location for suburban development – and residents who would come to relish a deliciously scandalous past as much as they enjoy a more prosperous and peaceful present. \nPlease join local historian M. A. Schaffner for an examination of contemporary news reports of the actual crimes associated with Dead Man’s Hollow\, a side trip into Jackson City\, a look at Dead Man’s Hollow today\, and a glance at a common feature of the suburbs Mackey allegedly paved the way for. \nAbout Our Speaker: M. A. Schaffner\nMichael A. Schaffner lives with spouse and pug in a crumbling tenant farmer’s cottage on land that once belonged to the Glebe estate. When not calling plumbers they write history\, poetry\, and fiction with rather more enthusiasm than formerly engendered by position classification decisions\, benefit-cost analyses\, and Congressional budget submissions. Their latest book length manuscript\, Unalloyed Pride and Joy\, a history of the Second United States Colored Infantry (raised in Arlington)\, is currently pining for a publisher. \nDRIVING DIRECTIONS and FREE ON-CAMPUS PARKING:\nAttendees planning to attend the event in-person should enter the Marymount University campus at the library gate on N. 26th Street. \n\nFrom Glebe Road going north\, take a right onto 26th Street.\nPass through the stop light at the intersection of 26th and Old Dominion Drive.\nPass the intersection with Yorktown Road\nEnter the campus through the next gate on your left.
