Lynched: Mob Murders on the Northern Great Plains, 1882-1931

With a rope and a mission, like-minded neighbors found lynching to be a simple and efficient way to obtain what they regarded as certain justice. When throngs of angry men descended on small Dakota jails, the result was often a lynching of the perceived guilty party. In Lynched: Mob Murders on the Northern Great Plains, 1882–1931, after researching contemporary press reports and court documents, Chaky and Stepanek detail nine such instances of illegal and morally reprehensible “justice” meted out to hapless perpetrators. The stories offer an interesting, if disturbing, read of the gruesome “justice by mob.”—Sandra K.
