Download or read book Folsom s 93 written by April Moore and published by Linden Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1895 to 1937, 93 men were hanged at California's Folsom State Prison, and this book is the first to tell all of their stories, recounting long-forgotten tales of murder and swift justice, or sometimes, swift injustice that hanged an innocent man. Based on a treasury of historical information that has been hidden from the public for nearly 70 years, the full stories of these 93 executed men are presented in this collection including their origins, their crimes, the investigations that brought them to justice, their trials, and their deaths at the gallows. This wealth of previously unpublished historical detail gives a vivid view of the sociology of early 20th-century crime and of the resulting prison life. Readers take a trip back in time to the hard-boiled early 20th-century California that inspired the novels of Dashiell Hammett and countless other crime writers. Illustrated throughout with authentic and haunting prison photographs of each of the condemned men, the crimes and punishments of a vanished era are brought into a sharp and realistic light.
Download or read book Folsom written by Roberta Kludt Long and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Folsom really began in the 1960s. Folsom was a planned town from the beginning in 1856 and initially had housing and businesses for workers at the Sacramento Valley Railroad depot, turntable, and maintenance shops. During the remaining decades of the 19th century to the mid-20th century, Folsom's fortunes fluctuated as it served as a hub for gold recovery, the railroad, Folsom Prison, hydropower, and agriculture. Folsom residents incorporated their town in 1946. Anticipating the changes that would come with construction of a large dam on their border, they wanted local control. From the 1960s to the present, Folsom's story continues as a tale about its people. Their dedication has revitalized the historic district, brought innovative employment, created arts and entertainment centers, and provided high-quality education, civic services, and exceptional recreation choices. Many of them contributed photographs and text to this book.
Download or read book Folsom Prison written by Jim Brown and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folsom Prison is California's second-oldest prison, dating back to 1880. In the decades following the Gold Rush, it housed some of the state's most notorious prisoners in stone, dungeon-like cells behind solid-metal doors; was the first prison with electric power; and for many years provided labor for various state projects, including construction, fabrication, and printing of license plates. Thrust into the public consciousness in the 1960s by high-profile performances from country music's Johnny Cash, the prison remains a notorious and legendary institution. The variety of offenders housed at Folsom are incarcerated for a large gamut of criminal behavior, and the California Department of Corrections has been dedicated to rehabilitation efforts throughout the facility's long history.

Download or read book Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison written by Michael Streissguth and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 13, 1968, Johnny Cash (1932–2003) took the stage at Folsom Prison in California. The concert and the live album, At Folsom Prison, propelled him to worldwide superstardom. He reached new audiences, ignited tremendous growth in the country music industry, and connected with fans in a way no other artist has before or since. Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison: The Making of a Masterpiece, Revised and Updated is a riveting account of that day, what led to it, and what followed. Michael Streissguth skillfully places the album and the concert in the larger context of Cash’s artistic development, the era’s popular music, and California’s prison system, uncovering new angles and exploding a few myths along the way. Scrupulously researched, rich with the author’s unprecedented archival access to Folsom Prison’s and Columbia Records’ archives, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison shows how Cash forever became a champion of the downtrodden, as well as one of the more enduring forces in American music. This revised edition includes new images and updates throughout the volume, including previously unpublished material.
