A young woman seduced by an older, married man publicly turned the tables 
on him in Richmond’s mean streets circa 1865. But did she also pull the wool 
over the eyes of the courts and medical establishment?  A Library of Virginia 
archivist rediscovered the story of  Annie Kirby’s tumultuous early life in the 
records of Western State Hospital. See how, 144 years later, both the 
archivist and Annie’s descendants were able to piece together her remarkable 
life story in this week’s Out of the Box blog.
