The Guns of Meeting Street: A Southern Tragedy - Paperback
by T. Felder Dorn (Author)
As compelling as fiction, The Guns of Meeting Street reconstructs a series of murders from the early 1940s that rocked rural Edgefield County, South Carolina. Featuring a cast of unlikely antagonists-a prominent store owner, an elementary school teacher, and a law enforcement officer-the acts of revenge resulted in five murders and a trio of executions, including that of the first woman to be electrocuted in South Carolina. Through interviews with members of the two families involved, T. Felder Dorn probes the longstanding feud between the Logues and the Timmermans to uncover this chilling plot of resentment, revenge, and violence. Dorn's careful research weaves together the oral history of family members affected by the shooting with court transcripts, prisoner confessions, and coroners' reports to produce a truly gripping account of the events.
A native of Bowman, South Carolina, T. Felder Dorn is dean emeritus of Kean University in Union, New Jersey, where he was an administrator and professor of chemistry for twenty-eight years. He is the author of The Tompkins School, 1925-1953: A Community Institution.
