Back to All Events
Join author and family historian Orice Jenkins and the Shelton Heritage Society as Jenkins revisits the Early County Massacre-long referred to as the Grandison Goolsby War-uncovering the deeper family and historical context behind the events of December 1915. Moving beyond the commonly told account, Jenkins traces how the violence began days earlier with a single incident and ultimately led to a devastating miscarriage of justice years later. Through careful research and storytelling, he centers the lives, resilience, and sacrifices of Grandison and Mary Goolsby and the lasting impact on their family, restoring complexity, dignity, and humanity to a story too often reduced to a single moment in history.
