Description
When attorney John Jay Cornelison severely beat Kentucky Superior Court
judge Richard Reid in public on April 16, 1884, for allegedly injuring his
honor, the event became front-page news. Would Reid react as a Christian
gentleman, a man of the law, and let the legal system take its course, or would
he follow the manly dictates of the code of honor and challenge his assailant?
James C. Klotter crafts a detective story, using historical, medical, legal, and
psychological clues to piece together answers to the tragedy that followed.

believe that honor demands swift and bloody vengeance no matter the costs."

among religion, law, and honor in the American South."
