The crime that shocked post-Civil War America and inspired the folk song that became The Kingston Trio’s hit, “Tom Dooley.” At the conclusion of the Civil War, Wilkes County, North Carolina, was the site of the nation’s first nationally publicized crime of passion. In the wake of a tumultuous love affair and a mysterious chain of events, Tom Dooley was tried, convicted and hanged for the murder of Laura Foster. This notorious crime became an inspiration for musicians, writers and storytellers ever since, creating a mystery of mythic proportions. Through newspaper articles, trial documents and public records, Dr. John E. Fletcher brings this dramatic case to life, providing the long-awaited factual account of the legendary murder. Join the investigation into one of the country’s most enduring thrillers. “Fletcher has spent a great deal of time researching almost all of the characters involved with the Foster homicide and has gone further than any researcher I know in establishing the relationships—blood, marriage and social—between the major actors in the tragedy.”—Statesville Record & Landmark

In 1958, when the Kingston Trio released their popular ballad "Tom Dooley," every time I heard the sad refrain on the radio about Tom going to be hanged for the murder of his sweetheart I'd cry. In my heart, I believed Tom was innocent. The authorities would be hanging an innocent man. Thirty years later, I saw an article in the Charlotte Observer that told about Tom Dooley, including the fact that he'd been hanged in Statesville, N.C. an hour from my home! Edith Ferguson Carter, whose family was intertwined with the story from its very beginning, was opening a Tom Dooley Museum just a mile from where the tragedy occurred. I contacted Edith and listened to her story about a young Confederate soldier and POW who returned from the Civil War to find his first love Ann had married another man, but still wanted Tom. Since he could no longer marry Ann, Tom began courting Laura, the girl who was later murdered. Area residents believe a jealous Ann was the actual murderer. On my search to find the truth, I interviewed people whose ancestors told stories about their involvement in events surrounding Laura's May 25, 1866 murder. I interviewed Edith's father, whose brother was Tom's jailor; Edith's husband's grandfather, who was the coroner; the great grandson of "Grayson" who helped the posse catch Tom and then stopped them from lynching him in Tennessee; Frank Proffitt, Jr. whose great grandmother heard Tom singing the song in his cell in Statesville and passed it down through her family and many more. Next, I searched the N.C. state archives which had summaries of Tom's two trials; interviewed experts on the "place and the times;" searched contemporary newspapers and the Wilkes, Caldwell and Iredell Heritage books to find out about the jurors, sheriffs and judges. Studying the life of his attorney, Zebulon Vance, the ex-Confederate governor of N.C., I believe I found the real reason this famous man represented Tom. The result of my research is found inside The Tom Dooley Files.

Tom Dula's trial unveiled a sordid story of sexual immorality, resentment, jealousy and bitterness, and he was convicted and hanged before a huge crowd in Statesville, an event that drew national attention. The story lived on, in time becoming entwined with myth and legend, because it inspired a ballad that was sung throughout the mountains.

The Ballad of Tom Dooley is a literary triumph—what began as a fictional re-telling of the historical account of one of the most famous mountain ballads of all time became an astonishing revelation of the real culprit responsible for the murder of Laura Foster Hang down your head, Tom Dooley...The folk song, made famous by the Kingston Trio, recounts a tragedy in the North Carolina mountains after the Civil War. Laura Foster, a simple country girl, was murdered and her lover Tom Dula was hanged for the crime. The sensational elements in the case attracted national attention: a man and his beautiful, married lover accused of murdering the other-woman; the former governor of North Carolina spearheading the defense; and a noble gesture from the prisoner on the eve of his execution, saving the woman he really loved. With the help of historians, lawyers, and researchers, Sharyn McCrumb visited the actual sites, studied the legal evidence, and uncovered a missing piece of the story that will shock those who think they already know what happened—and may also bring belated justice to an innocent man. What seemed at first to be a sordid tale of adultery and betrayal was transformed by the new discoveries into an Appalachian Wuthering Heights. Tom Dula and Ann Melton had a profound romance spoiled by the machinations of their servant, Pauline Foster. Bringing to life the star-crossed lovers of this mountain tragedy, Sharyn McCrumb gifts understanding and compassion to her compelling tales of Appalachia, and solidifies her status as one of today's great Southern writers.

The young American who became a living legend to the world tells how as a navy doctor he helped half a million Vietnamese refugees escape from communist terror... This is the true, first-hand narrative of a twenty-seven-year-old Navy Doctor who found himself suddenly ordered to Indo-China, just after the tragic fall of Dien Bien Phu. In a small international compound within the totally Communist-consumed North Viet Nam, he built huge refugee camps to care for the hundreds of thousands of escapees seeking passage to freedom. Through his own ingenuity and that of his shipmates, and with touching humor, he managed to feed, clothe, and treat these leftovers of an eight-year war. Dr. Dooley “processed” over 600,000 refugees down the river and out to sea on small craft, where they were transferred to U.S. Navy ships to be carried to the free areas of Saigon. The “Bac Sy My,” as they called the American doctor, explains how he conquered the barriers of custom, language and hate to become, as the President of Viet Nam said of him, “Beloved by a whole nation.”
