‘Wicked Northern Virginia’
by Michael Pope
The History Press
Michael Pope, WAMU’s Northern Virginia reporter, takes a vacation from covering the now to delve into our area’s not-so-pleasant past.
He brings us tales of a murderous Leesburg wife and mother accused of poisoning not only her husband but also her four children; doctors by George Washington’s deathbed as they drained him of blood; and floating brothels along the shores of Old Town Alexandria.
