The Making of a Lynching Culture: Violence and Vigilantism in Central Texas, 1836-1916

The Making of a Lynching Culture: Violence and Vigilantism in Central Texas, 1836-1916

On May 15, 1916, a crowd of 15,000 witnessed the lynching of an 18-year-old black farm worker. Most central Texans of the time failed to call for the punishment of the mob's leaders. This work seeks to explain how a culture of violence that nourished this practice could form and endure for so long among ordinary people.
