On a sweltering August night in 1876, Methodist minister William England, his wife, Selena, and two of her children were brutally slaughtered in their North Texas home. Acting on Selena's deathbed testimony, a neighbor, his brother-in-law, and a friend were arrested and tried for the murders. Murder in Montague tells the story of this gruesome crime and its murky aftermath. In this engrossing blend of true crime reporting, social drama, and legal history, author Glen Sample Ely presents a vivid snapshot of frontier justice and retribution in Texas following the Civil War.

The sheer brutality of the Montague murders terrified settlers already traumatized by decades of chaos, violence, and fear--from the deadly raids of Comanche and Kiowa Indians to the terrors of vigilantes, lynchings, and Reconstruction lawlessness. But the crime's aftermath--involving five Texas governors, five trials at Montague and Gainesville, five appeals to the Texas Court of Appeals, and three life sentences at hard labor in the state's abominable and inhumane prison system--offered little in the way of reassurance or resolution.

Viewed from any perspective, the 1876 England family murders were both a human tragedy and a miscarriage of justice. Combining the long view of history and the intimate detail of true crime reporting, Murder in Montague deftly captures this moment of reckoning in the story of Texas, as vigilante justice grudgingly gave way to an established system of law and order.

Too small for a lab retriever
Size: For Large & Medium dogs, Color: beige
If you have a large dog, I would not advise buying this item. It is very small. I was concerned about choking. My dog loved chewing on it and it is good quality, but I had to monitor constantly and tossed it the 2nd day due to choking fears. Great, if you have a smaller dog, but not good for lab retriever size!

fake fake fake
Size: For Large & Medium dogs, Color: beige, Size: For Large & Medium dogs, Color: beige
buyer beware. i don't know what this joke of a "dog toy" is but it's not what is pictured. no chance i'm giving this to my dog since i actually care about his well being. this product says that it's made in china, "patent pending" and that's its "safely tested in USA". also there's a weird stain on the inside of the packaging. no thank you, and i'm about ready to see the blood of whoever is behind potentially putting a dangerous toy in my dogs mouth.

Perfect for 5 Yorkies - they always go back to these...
Very durable and I'm always hearing my Yorkies gnawing and chewing on these... They really really like them. I've bought antlers and those plastic keys... But these win... The antlers are natural but I've learned they aren't healthy at all, and they still micro-splinter... The keys are too soft and plastic comes off.... These are perfect and I can see the plastic changing shape but not coming off. Perfect win. Oh, and being bright white I can see them in a dim or dark room so I don't step on them, my robot vacuum sees and avoids them, and I can see if my dogs have any bleeding gums, which they haven't had with these yet.
