Let their stories be told

In what some call "one of the worst atrocities of the Civil War", at least 40 men, suspected of Union sympathies, were hanged in Gainesville, Cooke County, Texas during the month of October 1862. Several others were lynched in neighboring communities.
Each family of a Gainesville Hanging victim has a story that needs to be told and shared.
Our goal is to remember all the men who died in the 'Great Hanging' and find their families – spouse, children, parents, siblings.
Please add to this blog any stories about your 'Great Hanging' ancestor.
