Summary
Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the 1910s was no longer a rough Western town. Electric lights, fancy hotels, new theaters, trolleys, and automobiles were changing how people traveled, did business, worshiped, and enjoyed themselves. Citizens viewed it as a modern city where life was "worth living". Until the night of March 23, 1912, when violence overtook Garrison Avenue—beginning with the shooting of a popular lawman, Andy Carr, and ending with the lynching of an innocent young Black man, Sanford Lewis.
