Description of  The Terror Of Indiana: Bent Jones & The Moody-Tolliver Feud Second Edition

The first U.S. blood feud to make headlines from coast to coast involved two wealthy Indiana farm families. This true story includes an attempted midnight massacre, a cold-blooded murder, prisoners shooting at a mob from inside a jail, the daring horseback escape of a defendant while his jury was still in deliberation, an innocent young man murdered by mistake, flamboyant trials for "one of the most celebrated cases in the history of Western jurisprudence", and a criminal mastermind that the Louisville Courier-Journal named "The Terror of Indiana". This edition of the first complete account of the Moody-Tolliver Feud includes new information from recently discovered records and dozens of additional newspapers, amounting to a total of fifty pages of added content. This is the true story of Bent Jones & The Moody-Tolliver Feud.
