Cobb was fairly well off in 1919, when he savagely beat and hospitalized a woman for talking back to him. I mean, you're right, things were different back then, but when people say he wasn't a violent, racist thug and a disciple human being they should probably take a look at what he has done. |

I wouldn't call him a racist thug that's a bit off the mark. Did you read the book ?? It doesn't dismiss things that he had done but it sure proves he wasn't a racist like Stump made him out to be.
