Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers primary source material related to the 1845 riot trial of Charles Stearns and his associates who were accused of destroying government property at the United States Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. The case centered on a boundary dispute between Stearns and the Armory's Commandant, Major James Wolfe Ripley. Stearns claimed ownership of the disputed land and had sold a portion of it to the Catholic Church for the construction of a church. Ripley, however, asserted that the land belonged to the United States and had erected a fence and toolhouse on the disputed property. Stearns and his associates tore down the fence and toolhouse, leading to their arrest and indictment for riot. The trial transcript, along with introductory remarks by the author, provides insights into the legal and social tensions surrounding the case. The author highlights the clash between individual property rights and the authority of the federal government, as well as the role of local politics and personal animosities in the conflict. The book sheds light on the complexities of land ownership and the legal battles that could arise during the 19th-century industrial expansion in the United States.
