On July 4, 1791, the fifteenth anniversary of American
Independence, John Crane, a descendant of prominent Virginian
families, killed his neighbor's harvest worker. Murder in the
Shenandoah traces the story of this early murder case as it
entangled powerful Virginians and addressed the question that
everyone in the state was heatedly debating: what would it mean to
have equality before the law - and a world where 'law is king'? By
retelling the story of the case, called Commonwealth v. Crane,
through the eyes of its witnesses, families, fighters, victims,
judges, and juries, Jessica K. Lowe reveals how revolutionary
debates about justice gripped the new nation, transforming ideas
about law, punishment, and popular government.
