Books about Lynched from Amazon.com

A new novel of the Old West from the critically acclaimed author of Relentless and Ghost Town...

When Marshal Ben Tully came riding back into his town, there wasn't a soul stirring Not the sprawled, bloody man outside his door. Not the stranger strung up out back.

Not his ravaged wife.

It would appear that a dirty kind of justice took over when he left. But now that he's back, not a soul responsible will stir for much longer..

Many people in northern Texas and southwestern Oklahoma still believe that the Marlow brothers - George, Charles, Alf, and Epp - were thieves and killers In 1888 they were charged with rustling and murder, tried by public opinion, and betrayed by law officials responsible for their safety. After Alf and Epp were killed in a brutal ambush, Charles and George accomplished a grisly escape, only to be caught and sent to Dallas for trial where, for their own protection, they were deputized as marshals. Their story, as lurid and adventuresome as any western saga, significantly documents late nineteenth-century law enforcement in the Southwest. The Marlows' fight for justice was glamorized in The Sons of Katie Elder, the movie starring John Wayne and Dean Martin, and has been told in various forms in several publications. Glenn Shirley has documented this bizarre episode in law enforcement history in a definitive account that will become the standard reference and a classic in the annals of outlaw literature..

"Mafia is a good word with which to conjure up prejudice and hide unpleasant truths. It had been and is, so used by the press all over this country; but I think, if ever the real facts come out (and they may) it will be seen that the late Chief of Police was murdered at the instigation of individuals, out of fear that he would be instrumental in letting their enemies loose upon them, and not by any organized Society." British Consul's Report, New Orleans, March 26, 1891.

In 1891, when a court of law found nine Italians not guilty of the murder of the New Orleans Chief of Police, an angry mob decided to take justice into its own hands. The result was the worst lynching in American history: eleven Italians were lynched while still in police custody. The repercussions of this horrible incident can still be felt today. The xenophobia of the time created negative stereotypes that are still common.

This book explores new possibilities of what actually occurred and who was really to blame.
