Description
NEW, SECOND EDITION!
This work is the true story of a perfect crime.
A dying Klansman, the last of his kind, travels from Danville, VA to Raleigh, NC, where he reveals his critical role in a terrible assassination that had remained unsolved for 65 years.
The murder had taken place in the Caswell County (NC) Courthouse, crowded with people, while both a tax listing and political caucus were taking place. To the dismay of local and state investigators, no one saw nor heard anything, not even a single cry of alarm.
His confession became headline news throughout the South, and even the Nation. Researchers had long awaited the old man’s story and were amazed as the unsolved crime finally slammed shut.
The “cold case” had also brought about the so-called “Kirk-Holden War,” as hundreds of innocent men were arrested by the North Carolina Militia and denied writs of habeas corpus under the orders of Governor William Holden, who was then held accountable for his actions.
Never before in the history of these United States had a governor of an American State been impeached by the House and subsequently removed from office by the Senate, but it did happen as a direct result of the “Kirk-Holden War.”
I might add that the impeachment and removal of William Holden by the North Carolina House and Senate directly resulted in the overthrow of Radical Republicanism throughout the American South, as well as the disenfranchisement of American Blacks for one-hundred years. Their freedom was supposed to come in 1865, but did not arrive until 1965 with the Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act.
I first learned of this historical anomaly while riding a school bus circling the town square in Yanceyville NC, near the Old Courthouse of 1861, where a conspicuous historical marker reported a murder occurring inside in 1870.
When I asked teachers what it meant, they always replied, “Nice people should not speak of such things.” My teachers’ refusal to speak of this mystery only increased my determination to learn the true facts.
More than two decades of research, re-writes and more re-writes, culminated in my release of Murder in the Old Courthouse of 1861, A True Story From Reconstruction Days.
THIS TRUE-CRIME MURDER IS A MUST-READ FOR AGATHA CHRISTIE FANS!!
