Summary
| Description |
English: Train passengers prod the bodies of Union supporters "Hensie" and "Fry" near Knoxville, Tennessee, USA in December 1861 at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War (1861–1865). The two were hanged by Confederate authorities, on the orders of General Danville Leadbetter, near the railroad tracks so passing train passengers could see them. This engraving appears in William "Parson" Brownlow's book, Sketches of the Rise, Progress, and Decline of Secession. Brownlow was confined with several prisoners from nearby Jefferson County who told him of the incident. |
