The Hanging of John Slimp in Texas after the Civil War

A postwar Vigilant Committee in Coryell and surrounding Texas counties hanged John Slimp on a cedar-branch scaffold after a raid to suppress cattle rustling and horse theft. The account recounts frontier law, fear, and a coordinated execution by six men led by a captain, with Slimp confessing before the rope was tightened.
