Author Alan Brown shines the light on some of worst characters in Mississippi history. Mississippi's nickname--"The Magnolia State"--highlights the region's natural and architectural beauty. However, Mississippi is also home to a rogue's gallery of thieves and murderers, beginning with the nation's first serial killers--the Harpe Brothers--and continuing to the present with Glen Rogers, "The Cross Country Killer." Lurking through Mississippi Scoundrels is a wide variety of scalawags, ranging from the 19th century "hell raisers " in Natchez-under-the-Hill to racist murderers, like Byron De La Beckworth and Samuel Bowers. Readers will also find "bad men" who have morphed into folk heroes, like Rube Burrow--"The King of the Train Robbers"--and Texas Red, Franklin County's African-American outlaw. But this book isn't all about atrocious men. Here you'll encounter vile women such as Ouida Keaton and Ruth Thompson, both of whom committed matricide, and Carolee Biddy, who killed her stepdaughter.

Dr. Alan N. Brown was born in Alton, Illinois. After attending Millikin University, Southern Illinois University and the University of Illinois, he taught high school in Springfield, Illinois. In 1986, he began teaching English at the University of West Alabama. After living in the South for a year, Brown became interested in the folklore of the South and began collecting it on his own. "People talk in the Midwest," Brown said, "but not like they do in the South. I guess this is why southerners are great storytellers." When he is not teaching freshman composition or American literature, Dr. Brown writes books on his southern history.
