Talk: The Spunkers

In revolutionary era Boston, The Spunker’s Club was a secret group
of men who committed one of society’s most despised crimes.  They were
not greedy common criminals but prominent Bostonians who, in order to
further scientific understanding, engaged in the gruesome act of
grave-robbing.


You are invited to explore this macabre and provocative chapter in
history with Boston City Tour Guide: Jim Denton. And learn how it
evolved into sophisticated illegal activity that continues to scandalize
the medical field even now.
