Description

Before the Civil War, North Alabama was infamous for lawlessness.

The era saw courts filled with defendants who spanned the socioeconomic gamut--farmers, merchants and politicians.

In 1811, John B. Haynes tore apart William Badger's house with his bare hands.

Rodah Barnett ran a series of ill-reputed brothels in the early 1820s.

In 1818, Rebecca Layman "accidentally" gave her husband sulfuric acid instead of rum.

There is even a case of assault with frozen corn. Author John O'Brien relays these and more stories of the shady side of North Alabama during the antebellum period.
