Synopsis
Most Americans regard “kids who kill” as a modern phenomenon, but the tragic tale of “Kansas Charley” shows that violent boys are a long-standing problem. Charles Miller was a seventeen–year–old orphan who was hanged in Wyoming in 1892 for a horrific double murder committed when he was only fifteen. This true story takes us into a world of poverty and abuse, revealing the people and places that shaped Charley’s behavior, his crime and his punishment. The author brings to life a thought–provoking chapter in the history of the juvenile justice system.

Review
From Publishers Weekly ...Brumberg's scholarship is impressive...Without excusing Miller's crime, Brumberg uses his story to advance an argument against the juvenile death penalty-a divisive issue that continues to be debated in American courts.
