In October 1898, a white mob retaliated for African Americans resisting arrest. The county sheriff gathered a posse, and the governor asked for National Guard support. Governor Anselm J. McLaurin went by train to Forest to assess the situation.[6] After arresting several blacks, the sheriff took them to the county seat at Forest for their safety.[7] The New Orleans Picayune reported that 11 blacks and one white had been killed."[7]
