Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

It is 1895 in rural Virginia. A white woman lies dead in her yard, and four African Americans are accused of the vicious murder. Bancroft Prize-winning historian Suzanne Lebsock takes us deep into this world when Reconstruction is slowly fading and Jim Crow is on the rise.
