Wicked Shreveport

See all formats and editions

In the rough-and-tumble days of the nineteenth century, Shreveport was on the very edge of the country's western frontier.

It was a city struggling to tame lawlessness, and its streets were rocked by duels, lynchings and shootouts.

A new century and Prohibition only brought a fresh wave of crime and scandal.

The port city became a haunt for the likes of notorious bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde and home to the influential socialite and madam Annie McCune.

From Fred Lockhart, aka the "Butterfly Man," to serial killers Nathanial Code and Danny Rolling, Shreveport played reluctant host to an even deadlier cast of characters.

Their tales and more make up the devilish history of the Deep South in Wicked Shreveport.
