Moonshine and Murder or Legends and Lies - Paperback

by Wendy Hazle (Author)

On the night of June 13, 1937, gunfire shattered the peace at Owens Chapel Baptist Church. Amid the screams and blood, one man lay dead, another stumbled out of the church with a bullet in his chest. Bertha Perry struggled to control the bleeding from her abdomen, and Lorene Potter labored to breath through collapsed lungs. Others were surprised to find themselves bleeding from stray bullets. What caused two men to open fire in a church crowded with the faithful gathered for the start of Revival Week? Both men had family not more than 15 feet from where they began their deadly gunfight. What secrets brought tragedy to so many families in that terrifying ten minutes? Moonshine and Murder or Legends and Lies will shed light on the tragedy that has haunted Lawrence County for almost 80 years.
