Society & Culture:History
In this episode, Hugh outlines his investigation into a striking article about a Syracuse circuit court that apparently valued bears more than girls. The investigation yields tragic details of a little girl's death, and disturbing details of Southern attitudes during Reconstruction.
For all article images, along with corrections and omissions, see the show notes.
