Description: 1883 Government Report: Investigation and Accounts of the Danville Riot VA This document investigates the events surrounding the Danville Riot of November 3, 1883, as reported by the Committee of Forty in Danville, Virginia. It compiles sworn testimonies from thirty-seven witnesses, including citizens, police officers, and officials, to establish the causes and conduct during the riot. The committee details how tensions escalated following altercations between white citizens and African Americans, culminating in gunfire and violence involving both groups. The report emphasizes that after the initial outbreak, the Danville police and military officers restored order and maintained peace through the subsequent election period. It asserts that voting proceeded without intimidation or violence, although African American voter turnout was notably low, allegedly due to advice from their leaders. The document also aims to counteract what it describes as misstatements in the press regarding the events. 45 Pages PDF eBook on CD-R Disk delivered via USPS Media Mail® Contact us before we send your Item to save $4.63 in shipping costs Attention eBay Staff: The book or books on this listing are free from copyright per the Copyright Act of 1976.
