Second edition of The Bloody Vendetta of Southern Illinois covering the deadly family feuds and Ku Klux Klan activities during the decade following the Civil War that took place in the heart of Southern Illinois, particularly focused in the counties of Franklin, Jackson and Williamson. Milo Erwin wrote the first major account of the Vendetta during its immediate aftermath in 1876 as part of his History of Williamson County, Illinois. Now, Jon Musgrave takes Erwin's account and expands upon it with additional material from surrounding counties and further research into the characters who left such a mark on the region.
