Kansas Charley: The Boy Murderer

Most Americans regard â€œkids who killâ€ as a modern phenomenon, but the tragic tale of â€œKansas Charleyâ€ shows that violent boys are a long-standing problem. Charles Miller was a seventeenâ€“yearâ€“old orphan who was hanged in Wyoming in 1892 for a horrific double murder committed when he was only fifteen. This true story takes us into a world of poverty and abuse, revealing the people and places that shaped Charleyâ€™s behavior, his crime and his punishment. The author brings to life a thoughtâ€“provoking chapter in the history of the juvenile justice system.
