The Hand of Justice

The Civil War came to East Tennessee in the form of Confederate raids against the mostly Union sympathizers who lived there. Today’s tale recounts a story told about one such raid which cost the life of a resident of Carter’s Valley.

His spirit demanded justice and got it…through his hand, brutally severed from his body by the Rebel raiders.

Today we tell that tale.
