The Lynching of Leo Frank

Robert Myers’ The Lynching of Leo Frank examines the social, political and moral climate surrounding the famed early 1900s case. Frank, a Jewish factory manager, was convicted of the murder of young pencil factory worker Mary Phagan. While imprisioned at Milledgeville, he was forced from the jail by a mob and hanged in Marietta, less than two miles from the site of the town square.
