Description: A jail stands next to a road and trees grow around it. Using archival records, Gonzales-Day went searching for California's historic hang trees. While some of the locations of the trees in this series are certain, others were taken in approximate locations that corresponded to the historical data available. For more information, see Lynching in the West: 1850-1935 (Duke, 2006). This historic jail is located in Columbia State Historic Park.
