Mountain Miners Free Convicts in East Tennessee Action
Tennessee faces a mounting crisis as about 450 convicts and guards collapse into a sudden uprising. Mountain miners seized Briceville and Coal Creek stockades, freed 150 to 160 convicts, burned facilities, and fled toward the Kentucky line, while authorities watch helplessly as the revolt dissolves into scattered fugitives. The final blows end the Walden’s Ridge era, with the governor seeking a solution as the state reels from the upheaval.
