I concur that the Fitz Brundage book is the best place to obtain
information. It is worth noting that a 1900 lynching in Emporia led to a
significant public outcry (led by Baptists, particularly Richmond's S.C.
Mitchell). The prevalence of lynching steadily declined in the next couple
of decades--a fact that places Virginia outside patterns for most of the
rest of the South. Cordially, Sam Shepherd, Centenary College of Louisiana
