Review: How an ex-slave and a Confederate hero joined forces during the Jim Crow era

BY ROLAND KLOSE St. Louis Post-Dispatch February 10, 2021 41 “A Shot in the Moonlight: How a Freed Slave and a Confederate Soldier Fought for Justice in the Jim Crow South” by Ben Montgomery; Little Brown Spark (304 pages, $28) About 500 St. Louisans gathered in 1914 for the dedication of a Confederate memorial in Forest Park, where Bennett H. Young, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans Association, eulogized the “bravery” and “bitter determination” of the 600,000 Southern men who fought for a “cause they believed to be right.” Young, an apologist for the Confederacy, played a key role in littering the country with memorials to the “Lost Cause,” but, as in all things, his story is complicated.

On the night of January 21, 1897, a mob of White men armed with pistols and shotguns surrounded the home of freed slave George Dinning in southern Kentucky. They falsely accused him of stealing livestock from a neighboring farm and unleashed a hail of bullets into his house, wounding him in the arm and forehead. Terrified for his wife and children, Dinning fired back, killing one of his assailants.
