On a hot and dusty Sunday in June 1872, 13-year-old Mary Secaur set
off on her two-mile walk home from church. She never arrived. The
horrific death of this young girl inspired an illegal interstate
pursuit-and-arrest, courtroom dramatics, conflicting confessions,
and the daylight lynching of a traveling tin peddler and an
intellectually disabled teenager. Who killed Mary Secaur? Were the
accused actually guilty? What drove the citizens of Mercer County
to lynch the suspects? David Kimmel seeks answers to these
provoking questions and deftly recounts what actually happened in
the fateful summer of 1872, imagining the inner workings of the
small rural community, reconstructing the personal relationships of
those involved, and restoring humanity to this gripping story.
Using a unique blend of historical research and contemporary
accounts, Outrage in Ohio explores how a terrible crime ripped an
Ohio farming community apart and asks us to question what really
happened to Mary Secaur.
