Bloody Williamson
Williamson County has a very interesting and violent history. I recommend "Bloody Williamson: A Chapter in American Lawlessness" by Paul M. Angle. Coal miners, scabs, Pinkertons, farmers, bootleggers, and the Klan made for an explosive mixture.
Shorpy.com is a vintage photography site featuring thousands of high-definition images from the 1850s to 1950s. The site is named after Shorpy Higginbotham, a teenage coal miner who lived 100 years ago. Contact us | Privacy policy | Site © 2023 Shorpy Inc.
