An interesting and excellent website. It should be pointed out that the data needs a caveat. The gentleman responsible for the website does state that the recorded executions are for the time and place listed, but if you examine the California data you will see that it begins with executions prior to 1800, almost 50 years before it was even a territory of the United States - under the control of the Hispanic authorities from the south. Now, come on....is that really fair? Florence
