Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The bleak years after the Civil War brought continuing oppression to African Americans. During the 1880s and 1890s, more than 100 black citizens were lynched each year. In 1892, Memphis newspaper editor Ida B. Wells-Barnett raised a lone voice of protest and was forced to flee for her life. So began the civil rights pioneer's crusade against lynching.
This compilation features Southern Horrors, Wells's first pamphlet on the subject of lynching, as well as its successors, A Red Record and Mob Rule in New Orleans. Substantiated by her meticulous research and documentation, these works remain as important to today's historians as they were to the author's original audience.

"This Dover edition, first published in 2014, is an unabridged republication of Southern horrors: lynch law in all its phases, originally published by New York Age Print, New York, in 1892, A red record: tabulated statistics and Alleged causes of lynchings in the United States 1892 -- 1893 -- 1894, originally published by Donohue & Henneberry, Chicago, in 1895, and Mob rule in New Orleans: Robert Charles and His fight to the death, originally published by Ida B. Wells, Chicago, in 1900. The Dover edition has corrected typographical errors in the original text"--Title page verso.
