Book Synopsis Draketown Tragedy by : Elaine Bolden Bailey
Book excerpt: Draketown, Georgia, November 13, 1924: Alice Stewart, the pastor's wife, is shot twice, once in the back, when she tries to stop twenty moonshiners from abducting and horsewhipping her husband, Rev. Robert Stewart, for tearing down their stills. She dies two days later. The news published around the country, shocks and dismays. The Governor offers a reward. The Ku Klux Klan erects a large monument. Alice Stewart is the first woman martyr of prohibition.
