Los 390 | The Riot at New Haven between the Students and Town Boys
The Riot at New Haven between the Students and Town Boys, on the night of March 17, 1854. New Haven: Richard’s Book, Magazine, and Newspaper Depot, 1854. A dark piece of Yale ephemera documenting a deadly town-gown clash. A disturbance at a theatrical performance quickly deteriorated into a two-day battle between local students and New Haven residents, culminating in the stabbing death of a local man named Pat O’Neil and the students barricading themselves in the South College Hall as the frenzied crowd of townies tried to use a cannon to hit the building. This sensational pamphlet collects newspaper coverage of the event, including the coroner’s investigation and legal aftermath. See B.M. Kelley, Yale: A History, p. 218. Octavo (187 x 105mm). 47pp. Disbound with original printed wrappers retained (a little dampstained, wrappers a bit shipped with some tears at edges. Provenance: “E. Tracy” (slightly cropped signature on wrapper) – old shelf label on first leaf.
