What Virtue There is in Fire: Cultural Memory and the Lynching of Sam Hose
Edwin T. Arnold
The 1899 lynching of Sam Hose in Newnan, Georgia, was one of the most gruesome events in US history. Hose was accused of killing Alfred Cranford, a white farmer, and raping his wife. The author, troubled by the fact that this horrific chain of events has been largely shut out of public memory, offers an in-depth examination of the lynching.
