His journey ended in Springfield, Illinois, a city undergoing fundamental changes as its white citizens struggled to understand the political, legal, and cultural consequences of emancipation and black citizenship. Reed became known as a petty thief, appearing time and again in the records of the state's courts and prisons. In late 1877, he burglarized the home of a well-known Springfield attorney- and brother of Abraham Lincoln's former law partner-a crime for which he was convicted and sent. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Reed, Augustus,|d1846?-1878. 650 0 African Americans|zIllinois|zSpringfield|vBiography. 650 0 Freedmen|zIllinois|zSpringfield|vBiography. 650 0 African American prisoners|xCrimes against|zIllinois |xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 African Americans|xLegal status, laws, etc.|zIllinois |y19th century. 650 0 Discrimination in criminal justice administration |zIllinois|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Racism|zIllinois|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)|zIllinois. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBahde, Thomas.|tLife and Death of Gus Reed : A Story of Race and Justice in Illinois during the Civil War and Reconstruction.|dAthens, OH : Ohio University Press, ©2014 830 0 Ohio University Press series on law, society, and politics in the Midwest. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=846272|zOnline eBook.
