Public Executions in Richmond, Virginia

"This book narrates the history of the executions--hangings, and during the Civil War also firing squads--that formed a large part of Richmond, Virginia's entertainment picture. Revulsion slowly mounted until the introduction of the electric chair. The history has a cast of unusual characters--the condemned, the crime victims, family members, and the executioners"--Provided by publisher.
