Public Executions in Richmond, Virginia

- A History, 1782-1907

Bag om Public Executions in Richmond, Virginia

One of the biggest stains in Richmond's past was the spectacle of public executions. Thousands, including the old and the very young, reveled in a carnival-like atmosphere. This narrates the history of the executions that formed a large part of Richmond's entertainment picture. The history has a cast of unusual characters - the condemned, the crime victims, family members, the executioners, and not least an 182 pound 'gallows' dog.
