In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with Chad Reimer about his new book The Trials of Albert Stroebel: Love, Murder, and Justice at the End of the Frontier. They talk about John Marshall’s path to Sumas Prairie, Albert Stroebel’s life, and the other key people in the story. They also talk about murder investigations in the late 19th century, the legal process in rural B.C. at the time, and how the case served as a significant precedent for the province.
