The Prince of Dark Corners

AN ADAPTATION OF THE PLAY BY GARY CARDEN

At the time of his capture in 1881, Lewis Redmond was the most famous outlaw in the country, outshining contemporaries Billy-The-Kid and Jesse James. To the people of Southern Appalachia he was an American Robin Hood, fighting revenuers and bootlegging ‘moonshine’ to pay their taxes and save their land in the lean and hopeless years of Reconstruction. At the same time, Northern journalists depicted him as a degenerate, morally bankrupt and cold-blooded murderer. His story sheds light on a time and place in American history that has long been shrouded in mystery.
