This commemorative souvenir documents the origin and evolution of
the oldest structure on the historic Independence Courthouse
Square-the 1859 Jackson County Jail and Marshal's Home (and its
19th Century predecessors). "Captured" here is an in-depth study
offering "skeleton keys" to "unlocking" history of the early lock
downs, of those who defied frontier justice, and the systems and
strongmen (and their overlooked wives) who tried to keep law and
order in Jackson County, Missouri. A roster of ALL Jackson County
Sheriffs AND Jackson County Marshals, and separate "rap sheet" of
ALL legal hangings in Jackson County "caps" this first-ever
comprehensive study spanning from 1826--when Jackson County was
formed--to 1933 when the 1859 Jackson County Jail was
decommissioned. David W. Jackson and Paul Kirkman have also
explored how the site was adaptively re-used during the Great
Depression of the 1930s; through World War II in the 1940s; and,
how it was saved by the Jackson County Historical Society in 1958,
and continues as a unique, cultural history museum, located at 217
North Main Street, Independence, Missouri.
