Resort To Violence - Paul M. Angle

Resort to Violence by historian Paul M. Angle is a gripping study of how mob justice and vigilante rule shaped 19th-century America. From frontier towns to swelling cities, Angle traces the brutal rise of lynch law, showing how communities abandoned courts in favor of the noose, the gun, and the mob. Both chilling history and social commentary, it captures the raw violence beneath the myth of the American frontier.
