Sobre este artículo
New London: Samuel Green, 1816. 16 pp. with a crudely printed illustration of Babcock's hanging. Poor condition with the title page backed with brown paper, crude repairs and in recent wraps.
This is an unusual case of a white man being hung for the murder of a black man. Babcock describes in detail his life as a poor farm worker travelling from job to job. He relates that he received word of his father's death from an African American man named London who was in a relationship with his mother and lived with her. Babcock lived with the couple between jobs. One morning London and Babcock's mother were fighting and Babcock entered the fray and stabbed London who later died.
There is a long section on his imprisonment and last day leading up to his hanging.
