Unfortunately, the ex-Confederate has little time to enjoy his ranch before he feels obligated to fulfill a promise he made to a Union officer after a bloody skirmish in Lexington, Tennessee. Before he departs for Ohio, the sheriff warns him about Ridgeway Large, a self-proclaimed half-breed who kills without remorse. Six days into his dangerous journey, John encounters a girl who leads him to the gruesome scene of her parents brutal murders. After determining Ridgeway Large is the likely suspect, John leaves the girl with friends, ignores his previous obligations, and begins a dangerous quest to find the murderer and kill him. But as soon as surly Union officer Frank McGrew learns of Johns mission, he wants nothing more than to exact his revenge for his brothers murder and send the Texan straight to the gates of hell. In this historical thriller, a fierce battle ensues between the indomitable will of rebel John Lee Johnson and the overwhelming hatred of McGrew as both seek retribution. But in the end, only one will stay true to his principles.

He claimed he was saved from death because he was innocent of the bloody crime.

Download or read book The Hanging of Jean Lee written by Jordie Albiston and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1951, Jean Lee was Australia's last woman hanged. Award-winning poet Jordie Albiston's acclaimed verse novel puts this woman's tragic story within the context of her times.'As one might expect, it is a grim, tough story of the deterioration of a young woman's life and its brutal end. It is divided into four sections with deliberately cold-hearted titles: Personal Pages, Entertainment Section, Crime Supplement and Death Notices. The Hanging of Jean Lee is economically and imaginatively conceived with a strong narrative drive. In a series of short connected poems, Jordie Albiston has made a heart-breaker out of her material, ringing the verse changes, using rhyme and blank verse in short chopped lines, colloquial language, reportage, and newspaper headlines with considerable skill.' Dorothy Hewett, Australian Book Review, 1999First published in 1998, The Hanging of Jean Lee was adapted for music-theatre and performed by Opera Australia.Jordie Albiston has published six collections of poetry. Nervous Arcs (1995), her debut, won the Mary Gilmore Award and The Sonnet According to M (2009) won the Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry. Her most recent work is Element (2020). She received the Patrick White award in 2019.

Download or read book The Gallows Failed Three Times written by and published by . This book was released on 1921 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is about an Englishman, John Lee, who in 1885 escaped the gallows after being convicted of murder, because three times the trapdoor failed to work. After many years in prison a dying woman's confession finally clears Lee of the murder. Although supposedly based on fact it seems likely that the silent film versions were based on a play performed in Australia in 1912. The success of the first film version (now lost) made in the same year led the distributors Haldane and Sherry to produce a new version in 1921 expanding the story to include scenes from Lee's happy childhood. Piety and intensity of emotion are emphasised and the film is at times crudely sentimental. Despite negative reviews the remake was again very successful with the public. Raymond Longford remade the story as a talkie in 1934; this third version has also been lost.
