The Tennessee electric chair was installed in 1916 changing the way executions were performed. Up until this time the gallows had been used for all those who were guilty of crimes that demanded the life of the perpetrator. Now there is a more modern way to put criminals to death. The electric chair pumps 2300 volts of electricity through the body of those who are unfortunate enough to set in it. From 1916 through 1960 a period of 44 years there were 125 men who were put to death in the chair. Of the 125 men 85 were black and 40 were white. This book gives the details of 43 of these men, 21 white men and 22 black men. The details of the crime along with the details of the execution is written in this book. These are the genuine facts, real names of both victim and perpetrator are revealed in this book. The cases written about here are cases from the East Tennessee division of the state. Please read this book and let in educate you as to some of the most horrendous murders ever committed.
