content: Reports received from subordinate officers relating to murders and outrages, October 1865–November 1868, are arranged  chronologically. The reports usually list the names of the persons murdered or assaulted and of those accused of the crime, the race of the people involved, and the action taken on the case. Some of the officers submitted two reports for one month--one listed offenses committed by whites against blacks, and the other listed offenses 
of blacks against whites.
