Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Haven in 1784: A Paper Read Before the New Haven Colony Historical Society, January 21, 1884 ON the evening of January 21, 1784, the President of Yale College wrote in his diary: This afternoon the Bill or Charter of the City of New Haven passed the Governor and Council, and completes the incorporation of the Mayor, four Aldermen and twenty Common Council. It is fitting to recall on this anniversary some characteristics of the New Haven of 1784. The town then covered the territory now occupied, not only by the present town, but also by West Haven, East Haven, North Haven, (the greater part of) Woodbridge, Ham den, and Bethany, in all an area of perhaps ten by thirteen miles, or from ten to twelve times as extensive as now. The inhabitants were estimated at souls; of whom less than almost any one of our wards to - day, were in that part which was chartered as a city. There are now within the town-limits of 17 84, by a more than tenfold increase, some inhabitants, while the city proper has multiplied more than twentyfold. In the settled part of the city (that is, the original nine squares, called the town-plat, and the south-eastward exten sion to the water, known as the new there were some 400 dwellings, mostly of wood, but a good number of brick, and one or two of stone. A nearly contemporaneous map (1775) on our walls shows that these dwellings lay almost wholly in the area bounded by Meadow, George, York, Grove,52 centennial OF new haven. Clive and Water streets, - the northern part of this area being by far the least fully inhabited. The streets were without regular lines of trees, without pavements, sidewalks, or names; but it was an awkward mode of designation by localities identified with personal names (as we still speak of Cutler Corner) and eight months after the charter was given, 21 of the principal streets (broadway, Chapel, Cherry, Church, College, Court, Crown, Elm, Fair, Fleet, George, Grove, High, Meadow, Olive, Orange, State, Temple, Union, Water, and York) received at a city meeting their present names. A few may have been already known by these titles; I dare not affirm it of any but College and Chapel streets, in both which cases the names were applied only to the immediate vicinity of the two college buildings which occa sioned them. A few more had been known by other names thus, the lower part of Church street was called Market street, from the market-house at the Open intersection of George and Church; State street is called on the map of 1775 Queen street, a designation which would seem to go back to distant Queen Anne part of George street was long known as Leather lane; York street was sometimes called West street, and Grove street North street.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1819 over 3,000 souls found their personal “eternity at the end of a rope” in Texas. Some earned their way. Others were the victim of mistaken identity, or an act of vigilante justice. Deserved or not, when the hangman’s knot is pulled up tight and the black cap snugged down over your head it is too late to plead your case. This remarkable story begins in 1819 with the first legal hanging in Texas. By 1835 accounts of lynching dotted the records. Although by 1923 legal execution by hanging was discontinued in favor of the electric chair, vigilante justice remained a favorite pastime for some. The accounts of violence are numbing. The cultural and racial implications are profound, and offer a far more accurate, unbiased insight into the tally of African-American and Hispanic victims of mob violence in the Lone Star State than has ever been presented. Many of these deeds were nothing short of morbid theater, worthy of another era. This book is backed up by years of research and thousands of primary source documents. Includes Index and Bibliography.
