Four Dead in Ohio

Kent State Mystery Continues

The anti-war movement (then it was Vietnam) was never the same after the deadly National Guard shooting of 13 Kent State students, four of whom died. Chaos spread to college campuses nationwide, and after 40 years, unanswered questions remain.



40 years ago, on May 4, 1970, I was in Federal custody... For my pre-induction draft physical at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis.

Crosby, Stills,
Nash & Young
Ohio (1970)


Although a live version of Ohio was included on the group's 1971 double album Four Way Street, studio versions of Ohio and flip-side track "Find The Cost Of Freedom" did not appear on an album until the group's compilation So Far, released in 1974.
