Synopsis

The Darker Side of Hampton County

Founded as a "white county" during the violence and political turmoil of Reconstruction, Hampton County's roots are steeped in wickedness and blood. From the "Wild East" days of gunfights, train robbers, rustlers and rough-and-tumble timber towns to the shadowy era of moonshining and infamous solicitor "Buster" Murdaugh's involvement in the "Great Whisky Conspiracy," the county is rich with true tales of murder, crime and corruption. Meet colorful characters such as the banker who befriended a notorious bank robber and courageous heroes like the jailer's teen daughter who saved an accused Black prisoner from death at the hands of a vigilante lynch mob. Travel this historical journey with award-winning storyteller, journalist and local author Michael M. DeWitt Jr.
