About Blood on the Blue Ridge: Historic Appalachian True Crime Stories 1808-2004 by Alfred Dockery and R. Scott Lunsford
From an innocent man sent to the gallows in 1808 to the execution of a ruthless and random killer in 2004, this book covers moonshine, murder, and mayhem in the Blue Ridge region of the Appalachian Highlands. Discover the story of Nancy Franklin, a Civil War heroine who, despite multiple tragedies, including the Shelton Laurel massacre, remained defiant. Explore the stories of moonshine outlaws who would rather shoot it out than surrender, including the legendary Lewis Redmond, Moonshine King of the Carolinas. Learn about manhunts filled with racial tensions, murders, and shootouts as we examine the hunt for and killing of Will Harris and Broadus Miller.
