Download or read book Sins of the Pioneers written by James Pylant and published by Jacobus Books. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Civil War ended, many disenchanted Southerners poured into Central Texas, toting guns and grudges. Shots of whiskey loosened tempers and soon bullets were flying. Within a few years, the Lone Star State had become the nation’s murder capitol. The small town of Stephenville, where 139 people were hauled to prison between crimes 1864 to 1891, dealt with Comanche warriors, restless outlaws, crime rings, and the ruthless vigilante group known as “The Mob.” Sins of the Pioneers: Crimes & Scandals of a Small Texas Town explores Stephenville’s emergence from wild frontier to bustling village. Studded with shocking tales—sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant—it tells of crooks, bigamists, prostitutes, saloon brawlers, and mysterious murderers. James Pylant chronicles John Gilbreath, the intimidating, determined sheriff who bent rules to jail criminals—including his own kinfolks; Julia Williamson, Stephenville's hell-raising madam; armless Jack Hollis and his jail escape; accused horse-thief Jennie Sadler; schemer Gordon Bradshaw’s “accidental” shooting of his wealthy bride; lovely teenaged axe murderess May Bruce; and Annie Cooper, who risked exposing her shady past to rescue a troubled girl. “Author Pylant creates an enlightening portrait of the routine and not-so-routine criminality and scandals, surgically exposing the underbelly of Stephenville's raunchy and racy and sometimes perilous past.” —Bob Alexander, author of Riding Lucifer’s Line "meticulously researched . . . riveting." —Bill Neal, author of Sex, Murder and the Unwritten Law "Sins of the Pioneers is every bit as salacious as its title suggests." —The Midwest Review
Download or read book May All of You and God Forgive Me written by Hans M. Broder and published by Booklogix. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Double Murder Mystery Inspired by Actual Events. Jerry Banks was arrested on December 11, 1974 for the murders of a high school band director and a pretty young college student. He was arraigned and bound over to the Grand Jury. They determined the evidence was sufficient for a jury trial. Although Banks was the one who alerted police to the murders and despite a lack of hard evidence, eyewitness or motive, he was found guilty and sentenced to die in the electric chair on March 28, 1975-just 107 days after his arrest. His appeals ended the same way: guilty and death sentence. A miscarriage of justice eventually came to light due to a new team of hard-working young lawyers, but it was too late for Jerry to have his old life back. Hans Broder, is a lifelong resident of Henry County, Georgia where the murders and trials took place while he was a prominent bank executive. He knew Jerry Banks, was a keen observer of the trials and talk-of-the-town and has created a compelling retelling of the ups and downs of Banks' life...and eventual death. History is known to be a good teacher. Many lessons can be learned from the events that occurred almost fifty years ago to the young Black man named Jerry Banks. May All of You and God Forgive Me questions whether the circumstances surrounding his trial were fair given its tragic ending.
