War-Time Prosecutions and Mob Violence: Involving the Rights of Free Speech, Free Press and Peaceful Assemblage (April 1, 1917 – March 1, 1919)

About this record

A compilation published by the National Civil Liberties Bureau (the direct predecessor of the American Civil Liberties Union, founded 1920) indexing cases of prosecution and mob violence directed against the rights of free speech, free press, and peaceful assembly in the United States from April 1, 1917 to March 1, 1919 — the World War I and immediate post-war period of Espionage Act and Sedition Act enforcement. Compiled from the Bureau's correspondence and press clippings, the booklet notes it is "by no means a complete record." Published March 1919 from the Bureau's office at 41 Union Square, New York City. Public-domain scan digitized by the University of Colorado Boulder.
