About this listen
What began as a brutal act of violence during the Civil War—when Jenny’s husband was hanged and her eldest son was murdered in front of her—sparked a decades long path of bloodshed and vengeance. Jenny swore a blood oath with her surviving sons, training them to become deadly marksmen and hunting down the men responsible. Over time, their quest for justice spiraled into years of violent feuds, leaving a trail of bodies and a legend that still lingers in the mountains today.
Join us as we explore Jenny’s transformation from grieving wife and mother to a feared matriarch of vengeance. We’ll dive into the tragedies, the feuds, and the eerie legacy she left behind—right down to the macabre relic she kept as a trophy of her first kill.
Tune in for a story that blends spooky thangs and true crime in one of the South’s most infamous legends.
