What Virtue There Is in Fire: Cultural Memory and the Lynching of Sam Hose
Edwin T. Arnold
The 1899 lynching of Sam Hose in Newnan, Georgia, was one of the most gruesome events in a tragic chapter of U. S. history. Edwin T. Arnold was troubled by the fact that this horrific act was largely shut out of local public memory and offers the portrait of a place still trying to reconcile itself, a century later, to its painful past.
