During Prohibition, the "Law and Order League," of Danville was, of course, "dry," but the city's mayor was personally was known to be "personally wet," and in 1911 citizens were shocked to discover that the police chief was a fugitive from a murder conviction in Georgia. That same period saw lynching, murders and the wreck of the Old '97. HP authors Frankie Bailey and Alice Green will examine the law and disorder of Prohibition era Danville with Wicked Danville: Crime, Justice, and Prohibition in a Southside Virginia City.

This book is equal parts humorous and informative. It is an insiders guide to what often feels like a foreign language to those who grew up outside of Southside Virginia. Comprising the counties in the south central part of the state, Southside is know for its rural farming culture, hospitality, faith, family, work ethic, and simple living. The slang, dialect, and expressions commonly used throughout Southside may be baffling to non-native speakers. The authors cover topics such as how to know if "Bless your heart" is a sincere expression of concern or an insult on your intelligence. You will also learn the difference between a country boy and a redneck as well a how to interpret the ever-confusing multiple meanings of y'all. Here's an example of the types of things you'll learn:Term: He fell outta the ugly tree and hit ev'ry branch on the way down. Definition: phrase used jovially to describe someone who is extremely unattractiveYankee translation: Just so you know, we don't actually have ugly trees in the South. All of our trees are attractive. Example: I can't believe she's datin' him. I mean he feel outta the ugly tree and hit ev'ry branch on the way down. Bless his heart.What Yer Momndem Say Aboat This Here Book:"This shore is a good book for all them Yankees that come down here and need some learnin' on how to talk!" - Virginia S., Homemaker in Prince Edward County "Great day!
