Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the 1760s, when lynching and vigilantism came into existence in what is now the United States, this bibliography fills a void in the history of American collective violence. It covers over 4,200 works dealing with vigilante movements and lynchings, including books, articles, government documents, and unpublished theses and dissertations.

The book opens with a chapter devoted to general works. It then includes chapters on the period from the Colonial era to the Civil War, the Civil War through 1881, and the periods from 1882 to 1916 and 1917 to 1996. The work then turns to the frontier West and to anti-lynching bills, laws, organizations, and leaders. Finally, the book includes chapters on vigilantism in literature and art.

Download or read book Vigilante Politics written by H. Jon Rosenbaum and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vigilante politics is an organized effort outside legitimate channels to suppress or eradicate any threats to the status quo. Simply defined, it means deliberately taking the law into one's own hands. The history of the United States is filled with many examples of "establishment violence." This form of violence was evident when ranchers lynched the cattle rustler and when the early Ku Klux Klan terrorized African Americans back into their "proper position." It is also apparent when urban community groups execute drug pushers and when political parties resort to breaking and entering, electronic surveillance, sabotage, and seduction. Establishment violence is a global phenomenon and not restricted to the United States. In Brazil the Esquadāro da Morte (Death Squad) executes individuals suspected of being habitual criminals. The Protestant B Specials in Northern Ireland abused Catholics. Strong anti-Chinese feelings spawned vigilante groups in Southeast Asia. Other vigilante bands have included the Society of Muslim Brothers in Egypt, the White Hand of Guatemala, the Jewish Defense League, and the Nazi Brown Shirts. Every society that is holding together contains groups that value their place in the system (even if it is modest) and prefer things as they are. If they believe that criminals are escaping punishment because of corruption or leniency, or that people who seek a change in social status and approved values a regaining power, or that the legitimate authorities are unable or unwilling to preserve the present order, they frequently take violent action to defend their position. These are the vigilantes, and this book considers their brand of "establishment violence" in the widest sense. Their goals, tactics, personalities, and place in a country's general political configuration are thoroughly analyzed by the historians, political scientists, sociologists, and psychologists who have contributed to this volume. Part I is devoted to theory and offers a typology of vigilantism; Part II covers vigilante episodes in the United States. Part III places vigilantism in a comparative perspective, with examples from Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Download or read book Thomas Edwin Mills California Gold Rush Diary written by Thomas Edwin Mills and published by . This book was released on 1852 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consists of a manuscript diary of Thomas Edwin Mills describing his 1852 journey from Dunbarton, New Hampshire, to San Francisco, California, by way of Nicaragua, as well as his experiences as a gold miner in Marysville and Nevada City, California, during the California Gold Rush. The journal spans the period from January to November 1852, with more detailed entries documenting the months preceding and during his journey to California followed by sparser entries from his time as a gold miner, which indicate days he spent on his claim and amounts of gold mined. Mills traveled to California via Cornelius Vanderbilt's Accessory Transit Company, which capitalized on the gold discoveries in California by transporting immigrants between New York City and San Francisco. The Accessory Transit Company, which transported nearly 90,000 people between 1851 and 1856, held complete control over a route through Nicaragua, which relied on a combination of coaches and steamers to ferry customers from the Atlantic to the Pacific. On the Atlantic Coast, travelers would arrive at the town of San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua, then proceed by steamer up the San Juan River to the east shore of Lake Nicaragua. Here, another steamer waited to ferry them across the lake to Rivas. A stage at Rivas would carry them across the 12-mile strip between the lake and the Pacific Coast, where a Vanderbilt steamer would carry them north to San Francisco. Mills boarded one of the Vanderbilt steamers in New York City on March 16, 1852. Arriving at San Juan del Norte, which he refers to by the British colonial name of Greytown, Mills remarks on the city's inhabitants, drunkenness and quarreling of passengers and the ship's captain, and local flora and fauna. Upon reaching the Pacific Coast, Mills boarded the steamer Independence for San Francisco. Mills describes how the ship met rough waters as it entered the Gulf of California, and two of the passengers died. After arriving in San Francisco on April 10, Mills traveled on to Sacramento two days later via the steamer New World; he first went to Marysville on April 13, and finding few mining opportunities there, headed to Nevada City the next day. At Nevada City and Deer Creek, he describes working on a claim with Wallace Caldwell, also of New Hampshire, along with a few other men. The end of the diary contains Mills's tallies of the weekly amounts of gold the men mined and divided among themselves during this time, as well as grocery bills and supply lists.
