From post–Civil War political feuds to Depression-era mass murder—explore the criminally fascinating secret history of Music City, USA. Nashville is known for its bold, progressive flair, but few are aware of its malevolent past. Now, historian Brian Allison sheds light on some of Nashville’s darkest deeds in this compulsively readable chronicle of turn-of-the-century bad behavior. Included here are tales of infamous bar brawls, escaped fugitives, and deadly duels instigated (and won) by legendary hothead Andrew Jackson; a tour of the notorious red-light district of Smokey Row, where one of the largest congregations of prostitutes in the country was at the service of 1000s of beleaguered boys in gray; a killer temptress with a penchant for poison who strolled the city streets looking for victims; a grisly—and true—local legend known as the Headless Horror; the facts behind the macabre 1938 Marrowbone Creek cabin murders; and much more. Vividly capturing the outlandish mischief, shocking crimes, and political powder kegs of an era, Murder and Mayhem in Nashville lifts the veil on a great city’s sordid secrets.

Research in Tennessee for the period prior to 1830 poses some difficult problems because no complete census schedules for the state exist before that date. This book is an attempt at filling that gap. It is a single index to 68 county tax lists, petitions, voter lists, and newspaper lists of inhabitants in 34 counties. The earliest list included is from 1787 and the latest 1827. About 2/3 of the state's counties in existence in 1820 are included in one or more lists, as follows: Anderson 1805; Bedford 1812; Bledsoe 1815; Blount 1800, 1801, 1805; Campbell 1818, 1823; Carter 1796, 1798; Claiborne 1803; Cocke 1821, 1827; Davidson 1788, 1805, 1811; Franklin 1812; Giles 1812, 1819; Grainger 1799, 1803, 1804, 1805, 1810, 1821; Greene 1783, 1805, 1812; Hawkins 1779, 1801; Humphreys 1812; Jackson 1802; Jefferson 1800, 1822; Knox 1796, 1799, (Knoxville only in 1815), Lincoln (Fayetteville newspaper only in 1812); Maury 1811, 1816; McMinn 1825; Monroe 1825; Montgomery 1798; Rhea 1808, 1819; Roane 1805; Robertson 1812; Sevier 1799; Sullivan 1796, 1797, 1812; Sumner 1787, 1792, 1811, 1816, 1823; Warren 1805, 1812, 1817; Washington 1814, 1819; White 1811, 1825; Williamson 1801, 1806, 1810, 1815; Wilson 1804.
