Following the events of January 6, 2021, talk of vigilantes and mob
violence have become a part of our daily discourse, reminding us
that we haven't come as far as we thought from the "wild" days of
the Old West. The nineteenth century was a time of opportunity in
the West, but it was also fraught with lawlessness, racism, and
extreme violence as territories became states, freemen and
immigrants settled alongside white homesteaders, and the first
unions changed the way we work. Author Michael Rutter examines the
growing pains of the American West through the lens of nineteenth
century vigilantes, outlaws, mob violence, and lynchings, proving
that oftentimes our country's democratic progress comes at the cost
of physical violence.
