|
During the period 1771-1938, hundreds of acts of mob violence took place within the bounds of Ohio. Many of these acts were attributed to well-known and respected men - and women - in the community, but few were ever prosecuted. And some were even lauded for taking the law into their own hands. This is the first book to take a detailed look at mob violence in Ohio.
