Bessler takes us on a compelling journey through the history of lynchings and state-sanctioned executions that dramatically shaped Minnesota's past. Through personal accounts of those involved with the events, Bessler traces the history of both famous and lesser-known executions and lynchings in Minnesota, the state's anti-death penalty and anti-lynching movements, and the role of the media in the death penalty debate. 606 $aLynching$zMinnesota$xHistory 606 $aCapital punishment$zMinnesota$xHistory 606 $aExecutions and executioners$zMinnesota$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLynching$xHistory. 615 0$aCapital punishment$xHistory. 615 0$aExecutions and executioners$xHistory. 676 $a364.1/34 700 $aBessler$b John D$0896167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452231403321 996 $aLegacy of violence$92267302 997 $aUNINA
