Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reconstruction in South Carolina: 1865-1877
In Beaufort District a party of negro soldiers visited a house occupied by unprotected ladies, and there committed acts too hor rible to relate. Two of the brutes were apprehended, tried by mili tary court, sentenced to death and promptly hung - the authorities sparing no pains to visit that summary punishment upon the guilty scoundrels.
These instances may be taken as specimens, and to them might be added numerous cases of misconduct of lesser enormity, but none the less calculated to spread alarm in every community exposed to the misdoings of the negro troops.
