- Most of us are probably familiar with the Kingston Trio song, "Tom Dooley", but fewer may realize that it was based on the true life murder of Laura Foster in 1866 North Carolina.
Charlotte Corbin Barnes is an unapologetic supporter of Tom Dooley's innocence, and explains the crime, the complications of the trial due to the intense political climate in North Carolina in the era of Reconstruction, and her suspicions on what might have really happened. Her book is called "The Tom Dooley Files: My Search for the Truth Behind the Legend".

I still don't see why she is so sure he is innocent. She states early in the interview that she started her research for the book to "prove" that Dooley was innocent. Never a good position to start your research from.
That's a nice singing voice you've got there, Erik!
In the late 60s, when my brother began to play the guitar, my dad didn't care for the music he played. He'd always say, "Why don't you play Tom Dooley?". It's a family byword.
Should hear the REAL Folk Song by Doc Watson.....
Charlotte was good friends with my Great Uncle Zelotese Walsh.
I am a direct descendant of Lottie Foster, through Pinkney Foster, brother to Ann Foster Melton who is my great aunt. Laura Foster is a cousin, and Tom Dula is also my cousin.
It’s not often that we get to hear a woman who sounds like an elderly grammar school teacher talk about somewhat sordid sexual encounters that took place a long time ago up in coal mining hill country.
To her credit she did a very good job describing all the other aspects of her book.
My favorite rendition of the Tom Dooley song is by the late Doc Watson.
I’ve got the album stashed away somewhere.
I have a hard time with speculation and fact.
I have heard the song and never new anything about it. By the way you have a really good voice.
Thank you!
@@MostNotorious it's true, you do.
What a lovely singing voice you have. You should get it out more often! 👍 And what a charming and engaging author.
Why does she act like the one year age difference is such a big deal? Lol
About the Hatfield and maccoys
The Kingston Trio's singing style wasn't my cup of tea but I always wondered if Tom was a real person. Now I know. He was so young.
Thank you 😊
Interesting but extremely complex. I can't help but be suspicious of the author's intent but she did clarify it from the start. Most intriguing.
Could you please tell us the name of the piano piece at the beginning of the show?
Hi Charles. It's "The Executioner's Rag" by Todd Perley. You can find it here on RUclips and watch him play the entire piece.
@@MostNotorious That’s great. Thanks for the reply, Mr. Notorious.
re: Ned Kelly- why not Peter FitzSimons?
Ben Shepard?
Good singing voice Eric.

The amytiville murders.
After listening to this woman for 42 minutes, I realized her presentation style had killed my remaining interest in Tom Dooley's fate...
Tom's story is old one and told many times. Her story is not original and sorry not interesting.
