The Hanging of
George Kelley

An American Tragedy in Three Acts

In 1896 robbers broke into the Junction Hotel in Wyoming, MN. Moments later two young men were dead, and a third man nearly so.

For three days, posses from all over the county pursued the ne'er-do-wells, and the final stand-off took place deep in the tamarack swamps outside North Branch, MN. When the smoke cleared, one of the fugitives was killed (lead poisoning, according to the coroner's report), and the other two captured.

One, George Kelley, was convicted of the murders. In 1897 he became the only man ever executed in Chisago County, MN.

This is a story of America's enduring love affair with guns and with violence, and  how small towns cope with senseless tragedy.
