Track 14 — Citizens of Hancock County
Francis Higbee’s letter to his neighbors. Arise in the majesty of your strength. The August election approaches. This is the dreadful conflict.
Track 15 — The Burning
One hundred men. Scattered type. The flames consuming truth. Three days later, they printed their last word with fire. Seventeen days later, Carthage.
Track 16 — Sudden Day
They burned the press but not the truth. Lo, it is sudden day. The dark deeds of foul fiends shall be exposed from the house-tops. A departed spirit cries for vengeance.
