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.Carrigan, William D. is the author of 'Making of a Lynching Culture Violence And Vigilantism in Central Texas, 1836-1916', published 2006 under ISBN 9780252074301 and ISBN 0252074300.
