Summary: Reveals how, in late February 1884, a lynch mob of a hundred American men crossed the border into British Columbia, forcibly removed a wrongfully accused 14-year-old Native boy from the custody of a Canadian constable, rode south a few miles and hanged him from a cedar tree. Discusses how for the Stoþ:lo First Nation, a people living along British Columbia's Fraser River, this was a defining moment in their history. Also notes the ineffectual response of the Canadian government to this crime, and brings to light the only documented case of a cross-border lynching in Canadian history.
