  • Shootout at the Carroll County Courthouse: 57 Shots in 90 Seconds
    September 2020 Shootout at the Carroll County Courthouse: 57 Shots in 90 Seconds BAY 1 1 2 1 3 2 3 Stage 1 10 Pistol, 10 Rifle, 4 Shotgun Pistols loaded with 5 rounds each and holstered. Rifle loaded with 10 rounds is staged in Window C. Shotgun is staged safely in Window D. The Courthouse Tragedy started with a kiss. A stolen kiss, actually, at a corn-shucking party in Fancy Gap in late 1910. It was a big to-do, often celebrated with music and probably more than a little liquor. One of the corn-shucking traditions was that if a boy discovered a red ear of corn, he was allowed to kiss the girl of his choice. According to the most widely accepted version of events, Wesley Edwards, one of Floyd Allen's many nephews, shucked a red ear of corn and kissed the girlfriend of one of his rivals. The next day, Wesley and his brother Sidna Edwards got into a fight with some of those rivals outside a church service. The Edwards boys were about to be charged for assault and other crimes, so they hot-footed it across the state line into Mount Airy, where the Carroll County law couldn't catch them. Start in Doorway with hands on pistols. When ready say “A KISS IS JUST A KISS!” At the buzzer, single tap the pistol targets in the following order: 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3. From Window C, repeat the sequence on the rifle targets. From Window D, engage 4 shotgun targets until down.

Cheek THE HILLSVILLE TRAGEDY: APPALACHIAN STEREOTYPES AS EXAMINED THROUGH THE CARROLL COUNTY COURTROOM SHOOTOUT OF 1912 by April C. Cheek Crandall A. Shifflett, Chair History Department (ABSTRACT) This thesis is a community study that centers on the Carroll County Courtroom Shootout of 1912. The shootout provides an opportunity to examine the dynamics of a small Appalachian community by looking at the years leading up to 1912. This study focuses on issues of causality, including a series of intense political feuds, land disputes, and general hostilities between certain members of the court administration and members of a particular family within the county. This thesis adds to revisionist histories on Appalachia and serves as a corrective to views of the region as monolithic, isolated, and impoverished. By placing the Hillsville Shootout in a historical framework for the first time, one can explain and deconstruct some of the myths surrounding the Carroll County tragedy and more generally Appalachia itself.
