A propos de cet article

xxv, 237 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm ISBN 9780878051250, 9780878056118, 0878051252, 0878056114 OCLC 6648807 LCCN 80020865 Classification - LC F296.C67 P57 1980 Classification - Dewey 975.03 Dr. James Robert Soda Pitts (1832-1920) was an American author, physician, and local official best known for writing the 1909 biographical account [Life and Bloody Career of the Executed Criminal, James Copeland, the Great Southern Land Pirate]. He was known as a man of many trades, serving as a doctor, postmaster, sheriff, legislator, hangman, and author. ; Reprint of the 1909 ed. privately printed by the author, Hattiesburg, Miss., under title: Life and confession of the noted outlaw, James Copeland executed at Augusta, Perry County, Mississippi ; From the late 1830s through the 1850s outlaw James Copeland and his clan terrorized settlers on the frontiers of southern Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Consequently, a tremendous crowd gathered on the banks of the Leaf River just outside the town of Augusta in Perry County on 30 October 1857 to witness his hanging for murder. Despite the solemnity of the occasion, a carnival-like atmosphere prevailed among the members of the throng, many of whom had traveled considerable distances from nearby counties. Word had spread that Copeland had dictated the details of his ignominious career to sheriff J. R. S. Pitts while awaiting execution. The Life and Confession of the Noted Outlaw James Copeland appeared in print the next year and created a furor among the folk of the Piney Woods. Because of the Copeland gang's infamy, the fear it generated, and the intense interest in the names of his confederates, copies of the first edition soon disappeared. Rumors began to circulate that members of the clan had taken an oath to steal all copies, a myth that persisted in rural South Mississippi as late as the 1970s. Indeed, no copies of the first edition have ever surfaced despite decades of diligent searching by historians, archivists, and booksellers. In 1874 Pitts published a second edition containing a new introduction and an expanded appendix. In 1909 his son, A. S. Pitts, published a third edition, and in 1980 the University Press of Mississippi published this facsimile of the 1909 edition. ; FINE/FINE.…
