When Cincinnati, Ohio, was engulfed in a three-day riot in 1884 that left dozens dead and hundreds injured, it seemed to the world that the city's residents were outraged over a miscarriage of justice. Actually, many factors were at play. In this groundbreaking treatise on one of the most destructive riots in US history, author Steven J. Rolfes fully places the Cincinnati Courthouse Riot in the context of the economic climate, social conditions, and political corruption of the day. When two gruesome killings and a corrupt jury spurred thousands of angry residents to take to the streets, they were already at a breaking point. Their city and economy had been ravaged by massive flooding from the Ohio River and oppressed by the powerful political machines that ruled the city. In vivid detail, this book portrays the three nights of rioting. The Cincinnati Courthouse Riot details not only the influences but the effects of this tumultuous time, from the use of the Gatling gun on the rioters to the rise of notorious political boss George Cox. Cincinnati native Steven J. Rolfes is an avid local historian and the author of several books about his hometown. He is a member of the Mt. Healthy Historical Society and a volunteer interpreter at the Cincinnati History Museum. Book jacket.

In 1884, Cincinnati was wracked by three days of violence in one of the most destructive riots in American history. Nurtured by natural disasters, overtly corrupt governments, and politicians jockeying for power and sparked by murder and massive miscarriage of justice, the 10,000-person strong riot left more than fifty dead, hundreds injured, and the courthouse burned to the ground. The Cincinnati Courthouse Riot brought the end to one political regime and ushered in the rise of the notorious political boss George Cox, who ruled the city in a virtual dictatorship for the next thirty years. Thorough and insightful, The Cincinnati Courthouse Riot paints a vivid picture of a growing city during the Gilded Age. It examines the 1855 Know Nothing Riot in the city and its impact, the staggering effects of the Great Ohio River Flood, the frenzy surrounding two gruesome killings, and the milieu of political machination on the citizens of Cincinnati. The three nights of rioting are discussed in detail, including the role of the militia and their use of the Gatling gun on the rioters. With a deft hand, author Steven J. Rolfes weaves together the economic and political forces that erupted in mass violence and changed the face of a city., Kindle Edition, Format: Kindle eBook, Label: Pelican Publishing, Pelican Publishing, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2016-04-28, Release date: 2016-04-28, Studio: Pelican Publishing, Sales rank: 2580729.
