Corruption and murder in the Gilded Age. A spate of bloody killings and a devastating flood set off a firestorm that Cincinnati would never forget. In 1884, three nights of rioting left dozens dead, a courthouse burned to the ground, and the way clear for a new political regime to sweep in. When jury tampering led to a murderer getting the milder verdict of manslaughter, throngs more than 10,000 citizens took to the streets to deliver their own justice. In this sweeping account of some of Cincinnati's bloodiest days, historian Steven J. Rolfes examines the political, social, and economical milieu of a city swept by tides of change.
Steven J. Rolfes is a Cincinnati native and passionate local historian. The author of numerous books about his hometown, Rolfes is a frequent participant in local book and historical events and is a volunteer interpreter at the Cincinnati History Museum. He earned his degree from the University of Cincinnati and is a member of the Mt. Healthy Historical Society and the Civil War Round Table. He lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his family.
