Local historians and graduate students had done some of this work, often resulting in regional publications or master’s theses at state universities. This work, however, found a limited audience from the historical profession that did not yet consider lynching a topic of importance compared to the more familiar subjects within political, military, and diplomatic history. See, for just two examples, Fred Lockley’s pamphlet, Vigilante Days at Virginia City (privately printed, 1924) and Warren Franklin Webb, “A History of Lynching in California since 1875” (MA thesis, University of California, 1935).
