Myth of the Hanging Tree: Stories of Crime and Punishment in Territorial New Mexico

The haunting specter of hanging trees holds a sway on the American imagination, conjuring images of rough-and-tumble frontier towns struggling to impose law and order in a land where violence was endemic. This study examines several criminal cases that reveal the realities of the role hangings played in the administration of frontier justice.
