He tells Ricky the story about how the settlers had to fight the West Tennessee Land Company in order to keep control of their land and fishing rights. After all legal means were exausted, they organized a vigilante group they called The Night Riders. The Night Rider's attempt at showing their power goes a few steps too far when they kill the lawyer who they believe betrayed them, and it condemns a number of them to prison and even to a death sentence. A candid look into this author's father, Sammy D and grandfather, Sam Applewhite accused of being a Night Rider, arrested for the murder of Captain Quenton Rankin, tried, convicted and sentenced to hang. This book will astound readers as to the authenticity of the events and keep them glued to the pages.
