A ghastly murder, Jim Crow justice, and the gallows tree. When two federal marshals rode up to Will Mathis’ rural house outside of Oxford, Mississippi, in 1901 to arrest him for counterfeiting and distilling, they had no idea what was waiting for them. Mathis and African American servant Orlando Lester shot the marshals, chopped up their bodies, and burned Mathis’ house to the ground with the bodies inside. Mathis and Lester were sentenced to hang. Nationwide media coverage of the grisly case led more than 7,000 people to descend on Oxford to witness the hanging of a black man and a white man side by side. Briskly paced and meticulously researched, this tale that captured the public imagination is brought back to life in riveting detail., Paperback, Label: Pelican Publishing Company, Inc.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, America was a land of promise—and a land of segregation. Technology and innovation swept across the country—and criminals openly flouted the law. In Oxford, Mississippi, the tug-of-war between modernization and chaos was never as apparent as in 1901. When two federal marshals went to arrest moonshiner Will Mathis, the marshals never guessed they would be gruesomely murdered, their bodies burned. After a massive manhunt, Mathis—a white man—and Orlando Lester—a black man—were sentenced to death for the crime after multiple trials. Frenzied media and more than seven thousand people from across the nation descended on Oxford to see a black man and a white man hanged side by side.Grippingly retold by master storyteller T. J. Ray, this riveting account draws on primary sources to breathe to life the words and thoughts of the criminals and their accomplices, families, and community. Side by Side is an engrossing exploration of the deeds of two men unequal in society’s eyes, equal in death. More than that, it paints a larger picture of a nation torn between past and future, between prejudice and progress., Kindle Edition, Format: Kindle eBook, Label: Pelican Publishing, Pelican Publishing, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2016-02-10, Release date: 2016-02-10, Studio: Pelican Publishing, Sales rank: 2909625.
