Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenir Book of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania: By the Book Committee 160th Anniversary of the Penn's Creek Massacre, October 14-15-16, 1915 Its purview. In Its history is so varied and in teresting in facts and incidents as to be replete with human inter est. Ill Our sturdy pioneers struggled with the difficulties pre sented by Nature and the graver ones from the Indians, made dangerous through the loss of their lands, the white man's fire water and the incitement of European peoples contending for the mastery of the Continent. (h The Wars of1776, 1812, of 1845 and 1861 meant much to town and county as they sent many of their sons to them. Our people were European Immigrants or their descendants and they developed much of the best that was possible in a land whose language and whose political, in dustrial, educational, social and religious ideas and institutions were such as ours have been. Ill The publication of this little memorial volume, incident to the commemoration of the Penn's Creek Massacre, ought to have value because of the history it contains and its excellent illustrations, and should increase interest in local and general history. We should re member the rock whence we are hewn. 11] This Massacre in 1775 showed the necessity of a fort so well built and garri soned that it could amply protect for a number of years a wide range of settlements and thus be a great outpost of Anglo Saxon civilization. Such was Fort Augusta, built in 1756 at Shaumoking, now Sunbury, as a direct outcome of Penn's Creek Massacre. The historic importance of the massacre is thus beyond question. It is for us who enjoy to the full what was secured by our hardy forefathers at so great a cost, to re call the conditions under which they and their descendants lived, wrought and died and to highly resolve to do our part in the life of our day with at leastequal fidelity. (h The Snyder County Historical Society, and its co-operating organizations in the historic commemoration, extend their greetings and good wishes to all and express the hope that Selinsgrove and Snyder County will continue to prosper in everything that, by the favor of a beneficent Providence, will be for the good of their present and future citizens and institutions.

Download or read book The Lynching of Cleo Wright written by Dominic J. CapeciJr. and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 20, 1942, black oil mill worker Cleo Wright assaulted a white woman in her home and nearly killed the first police officer who tried to arrest him. An angry mob then hauled Wright out of jail and dragged him through the streets of Sikeston, Missouri, before burning him alive. Wright's death was, unfortunately, not unique in American history, but what his death meant in the larger context of life in the United States in the twentieth-century is an important and compelling story. After the lynching, the U.S. Justice Department was forced to become involved in civil rights concerns for the first time, provoking a national reaction to violence on the home front at a time when the country was battling for democracy in Europe. Dominic Capeci unravels the tragic story of Wright's life on several stages, showing how these acts of violence were indicative not only of racial tension but the clash of the traditional and the modern brought about by the war. Capeci draws from a wide range of archival sources and personal interviews with the participants and spectators to draw vivid portraits of Wright, his victims, law-enforcement officials, and members of the lynch mob. He places Wright in the larger context of southern racial violence and shows the significance of his death in local, state, and national history during the most important crisis of the twentieth-century.
