<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>With a bitterly divided nation plunged into the War of 1812, a fiery young Federalist editor named Alexander Hanson risked his life to defend a newspaper that dared express unpopular views.</b></p><br><p>His words provoked a violent standoff that crippled the city of Baltimore and left Hanson beaten within an inch of his life. This little-known episode in American history - complete with a midnight jailbreak, bloodthirsty mobs and unspeakable acts of torture - helped shape the course of war, the Federalist Party and the nation's very notion of the freedom of the press. Josh Cutler's history of the Mobtown Massacre offers a lesson in liberty that reverberates today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Author Josh Cutler shines a light on the career of Hanson and this "Mobtown" Massacre -- a little-known episode in American history that helped shape the course of war and the nation's promise of a free press." <i>citybizlist</i><br><br>"Massachusetts State Representative Josh Cutler has published a book, Mobtown Massacre, that tells an interesting story of when the press really was under attack, and the story of a fiery young editor for whom the town of Hanson, MA was named." <i>Double T 97.3FM</i><br>
