As the 19th Century ended, law and order in Erath County faced some interesting challenges. What kinds of crimes were being committed and what punishment was given for these crimes? Details from an old Erath County jail log dating from 1877 to 1910 tell the story of a county in transition, including the types of crimes being committed, who was accused of committing these crimes, and which deputies did the arresting. Join us for a unique snapshot into the interpretation of crime and punishment in early Erath County.
