Thirty-Nine Lashes--Well Laid On: Crime and
Punishment in Southside Virginia, 1750-1950

Written by one of Virginia's top local historians, with a fully indexed account of crimes of all descriptions in Southside Virginia, including many local families. Fully illustrated. Hair-raising accounts of "justice" during the days of slavery, including court-administered castration, thumb-hanging and flogging. Melton's earlier works are greatly respected and in some cases no longer available.
