Lynch Law in Georgia

A stark, first‑hand chronicle of a six‑week wave of terror that swept through Georgia at the turn of the century, this work pulls together contemporary newspaper accounts and the on‑the‑ground investigation of a Chicago detective. It lays out the brutal lynchings of twelve Black men—including the public burning of Samuel Hose and the hanging of preacher Elijah Strickland—while exposing the hollow justifications offered by the Southern press and the stark reality of lawlessness masquerading as justice.

Through careful documentation and vivid reportage, the author lets the reader hear the voices of victims, witnesses, and the mob itself, revealing how ordinary citizens were caught in a system that denied due process. The pamphlet invites listeners to weigh the stark facts and consider the broader implications for civil rights, making it a compelling, sobering listen that still resonates today.
