Description
Santa Barbara: by the author, 1969 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First edition. Small quarto. Designed and printed by Lawton & Alfred Kennedy. Illustrated. Red cloth, lettered in gilt. A fine copy. Details the Lake County incident during the late 19th century involving the KIan-like vigilante White Cap movement. Whitecapping is a phenomenon that occurred specifically in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was originally a ritualized form of enforcing community standards, appropriate behavior and traditional rights. However, as it spread throughout North America it took on a distinct racial characteristic. It started in Indiana around 1873, as white males began forming secret societies in order to attempt to deliver justice. These groups were known as the "White Caps". The first White Cap encounters were generally aimed at those who went against a community's values such as abusive family men, women giving birth out of wedlock, et al. This important work details the Lake County incident, the only episode in California which was related to the White Cap movement..
