The famed Piedmont Triad city of Winston-Salem has a history filled with
depraved people committing untoward acts. From Libby Holman, the singer
with a sultry, smoky voice accused of murdering her millionaire husband
to the man caught with hundreds of gallons of beer, liquor, and a tin
lizard whiskey still, residents of Winston-Salem were no strangers to
depravity. And leave it to a band of organized tobacco thieves to break
into dozens of warehouses and steal the livelihood of law-abiding
citizens, or a group of drunkards threatening to spread smallpox when
they were confined to quarantine to wreak havoc throughout the city.
Join prolific local author Alice Sink as she recounts tales of the
dastardly denizens and rakish residents of this North Carolina town.
