Governor Kirkwood Defuses Skunk River Mob

In 1863 South English, Keokuk County, faced a armed mob led by Tally as southern sympathizers challenged Union authority. Col. Chipman and state militia defended the town while Governor Kirkwood threatened force to enforce the law, dispersing the riot and sparing executions. The episode ends with militia arrivals and the mob's retreat without bloodshed.
