Book Description
Clint Cooper, the easy-going foreman of the Double-V-Bar Ranch, expects little more than the satisfaction of a hard day's work. When Sioux raiders descend on Yellowstone Valley, it's no surprise when he joins with soldiers from Fort Keogh to protect his folk and his livelihood. But not everyone is singing his praises. Crooked lawmen from the nearby town of Miles City have an agenda of their own, and Clint stands in the way. They want him out of commission -- for good.

The Prison of Democracy
Author: Sara M. Benson
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520969499
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Built in the 1890s at the center of the nation, Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary was designed specifically to be a replica of the US Capitol Building. But why? The Prison of Democracy explains the political significance of a prison built to mimic one of America’s monuments to democracy. Locating Leavenworth in memory, history, and law, the prison geographically sits at the borders of Indian Territory (1825–1854) and Bleeding Kansas (1854–1864), both sites of contestation over slavery and freedom. Author Sara M. Benson argues that Leavenworth reshaped the design of punishment in America by gradually normalizing state-inflicted violence against citizens. Leavenworth’s peculiar architecture illustrates the real roots of mass incarceration—as an explicitly race- and nation-building system that has been ingrained in the very fabric of US history rather than as part of a recent post-war racial history. The book sheds light on the truth of the painful relationship between the carceral state and democracy in the US—a relationship that thrives to this day.
