Before the Civil War, North Alabama was infamous for lawlessness. The era saw courts filled with defendants who spanned the socioeconomic gamut–farmers, merchants and politicians. In 1811, John B. Haynes tore apart William Badger’s house with his bare hands. Rodah Barnett ran a series of ill-reputed brothels in the early 1820s. In 1818, Rebecca Layman "accidentally" gave her husband sulfuric acid instead of rum. There is even a case of assault with frozen corn. Author John O’Brien relays these and more stories of the shady side of North Alabama during the antebellum period.
