Wells, James M. THE CHISOLM MASSACRE: A Picture of "Home Rule" in Mississippi. Second Edition. Chisolm Monument Association, Washington, DC: 1878. 1878 ; fester Einband / hard cover

331p. + Portrait Frontis and engraving of Chisolm monument. 8vo. Original full royal blue cloth binding, lettered and decorated in black, very slightly worn. Gilt lettered spine. Hardbound. A very good copy. Judge William Wallace Chisolm (1830-1877) was a pronounced Union man. During the Civil War, although known as a "Whig and a unionist," he continued to serve a judge, but he was looked upon with suspicion by the Confederate authorities, to whom his unionist sentiments were well known. At the end of the War. the newly enfranchised Negroes naturally fraternized with the few white unionists, to form the nucleus of a Republican, or, as it was then known, a "radical" party ; and by their votes Chisolm was elected sheriff, and the county, under his leadership, became the stronghold of the Republican Party in Mississippi. After the expiration of his term as sheriff he was nominated for congress, but was defeated in 1876. In the spring of 1877, John W. Gully, a leading democrat, was shot and killed not far from Judge Chisolm's house, and warrants were issued for Chisolm's arrest, with several of his Republican associates, as accessory to the crime (though there was never a real evidence against any of them). Three hundred armed Ku Klux Klan horsemen rode into the town of De Kalb to administer mob justice. Sunday morning, April 30, 1877, the sheriff served the warrants, and Judge Chisolm's family, consisting of his wife, three sons, and a daughter, insisted upon accompanying him to jail. In the mean time Gilmer, one of the other arrested Republicans, had been killed by the mob while on the way to the same jail. A short time afterward a staunch friend of Chisolm's, Angus Nucleolar, who had resolutely guarded the Chisolm party on their way to jail, was in turn shot down as he left the prison. By this time the guards had withdrawn, leaving the jail undefended, and the mob began to batter in the doors to gain access to the chief victim. Chisolm armed himself with one of the guns left by his faithless guards. As the door gave way, his 13 year old son John threw himself into his father's arms, where he was killed by a shot from the leader of the assailants. Dropping his son's body, Chisolm instantly shot and killed the assassin, and the mob fell back. The cry was raised, "Burn them out!" and, believing that the jail was on fire, the Chisolm party descended the stairs, the mother and an elder son bearing the body of the boy between them, the father following with his daughter Cornelia, a girl of eighteen, who had already been wounded by chance shots. As soon as Chisolm came within sight of the mob he was fired upon, and fell so severely wounded that he was believed to be dead. The daughter received additional wounds at this time, and, with blood streaming from her face and arms, walked through the crowd, beside her father, who was borne to his house, not far distant, and died in about two weeks, from the effect of his wounds. Cornelia died two days later. In the county court the leaders of the mob were indicted, but none of them were ever punished for their part in these murders. The commonly accepted explanation of the affair is, that Chisolm had so organized the recently freed and enfranchised Negroes that he controlled the elections in favor of the Republican Party - a state of things to which the Democrats of the vicinity refused to submit. In December, 1877, Walter Riley, a Negro, confessed the murder of Gully, and was hanged for the crime. - Appletons Encyclopedia. AMERICANA BOX 4 Hardcover
