A Badge of Dishonor and Betrayal is a non-fiction account of an Alabama sheriff, three U.S. soldiers, and the tragic night that brought them together. The sheriff, elected by the citizens of Madison country, Alabama, took office in January 1977. Six months later, his life became intertwined with three young soldiers then stationed at the U.S Army's Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama.

When it was over, it had gone all the way to then President Jimmy Carter.

Huntsville Textile Mills & Villages
In the early 1900s, Huntsville, Alabama, had more spindles than any other city in the South. Cotton fields and mills made the city a major competitor in the textile industry. Entire mill villages sprang up around the factories to house workers and their families. Many of these village buildings are now iconic community landmarks, such as the revitalized Lowe Mill arts facility and the Merrimack Mill Village Historic District. The "lintheads," a demeaning moniker villagers wore as a badge of honor, were hard workers. Their lives were fraught with hardships, from slavery and child labor to factory fires and shutdowns. They endured job-related injuries and illnesses, strikes and the Great Depression. Author Terri L. French details the lives, history and legacy of the workers.
