    About this ebook

    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.


    “This book is a gem. . . . Klotter’s astute organization and gripping narrative
    add to the book’s appeal. . . . [He] has written a fascinating book that will be
    of interest to a wide audience.”
    —American Historical Review


    “A moving story well told, it does force the reader to reflect on our own era and
    consider whether we value leaders who respect the rule of law or those who
    believe that honor demands swift and bloody vengeance no matter the costs.”
    —Ohio Valley History


    “A rich and compelling work that offers fresh insights into the tense interplay
    among religion, law, and honor in the American South.”
    —Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
