Lynching of Robert S. Maynard
1852 lynching in Oregon, United States
Robert S. Maynard was a 21-year-old American man from Illinois who was lynched in Jacksonville, Oregon, in May 1852 as a result of his murder of J. C. Platt. As Maynard was extrajudicially killed by hanging, this was the first recorded hanging and first recorded lynching in Southern Oregon, where no courts had yet been appointed.
