Description
Vigilante posses were not for the faint of heart, either for the victims or the perpetrators. This presentation is a detailed account of reported lynchings near Rapid City, Spearfish, Deadwood and Sturgis during the last quarter of the 19th century. Where information is available, Gilbert will focus on the victims of the lynchings, their survivors, as well as the likely perpetrators, at least some of whom received their just desserts.
