Hi List, Kudos to Emma Lou for showing us this site. In a nutshell it tells more, faster, about the Night Riders than one could list in an Email. If you missed it, here is the site again..... http://www.kyseeker.com/christian/night.html Rootsweb-L-lists will not accept attachments, so pictures, etc., can not be sent to the list. Pictures, or other attachments will have to be requested from individuals. This has and is Rootswebs policy and is done to help protect these list from worms & viruses that can be spread by attachments. Also not acceptable is the outright selling of anything on the list. Acceptable is the sharing of addresses for historical or genealogical purposes.... I have no monetary interest in the following.. "On Bended Knees" The Night Rider Story, by Bill Cunningham.. abt 16 pages of photos contact me at [email protected] and I will furnish the address for more information..

I once asked my mother what my great-grandfather, Lee Forrest Hayes was like, and she said he was a decent, honorable man who didn't want to bring any harm to anyone. She said that was why he refused to join the Kentucky Night Riders when they asked him too. I asked her what were the Night Riders and she said, "Just something our family didn't want to have part in." H.E. Schardt There are no mistakes. The events we bring on ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we have chosen to go. --Richard David Bach

In addition to the information from Judi, ---- here is a bit more about the nightriders. Somewhere in one of my books I have an account of how they just about burned Hopkinsville to the ground, on one of their raids. I'm going to look it up and read it again. There is an old family story that one of my grandfathers was a nightrider. Also, I read that they took it upon themselves to keep people in line--- if a man wasn't being good to his family, he was paid a visit in the night and taught a few manners.

Go to this sight and it will tell you about the night riders. It is slow in loading but, well worth the wait.

It was revolt by tobacco farmers in Western Kentucky and Tennessee between the years of 1904 and 1909 against James B. Duke of North Carolina and his tobacco empire.......Dr. Amos was a country doctor who led a organized "secret fraternity" of farmers from Kentucky and Tennessee in a "war" against the too low buying prices set by the "Duke Trust" for the tobacco raised by the farmers. Duke set prices so low on what he would pay, that they couldn't make a profit on which to live or enough money to replant their tobacco crops. The "Night Riders" wanted all the farmers to stand together and not sell their tobacco for those low prices, hoping to make Duke have to raise the prices, and when a farmer didn't go along, the "Night Riders" would raid and destroy their crops. Bill Cunningham wrote a book titled "On Bended Knees" that tells all about the "wars" and the trial that followed.
