Before Las Vegas, there was Phenix City, Alabama—the original sin city.
Once the sprawling capital of the Muscogee Indian Empire, the region took a
sinister turn when a holy war engulfed southern territories in 1812, leading to the murder of the infamous Chief William
McIntosh. Later, atrocities continued at Fort Mitchell, the killing grounds for
early Georgia politicians who fought to the death over rival politics and
bitter feuds. By the 1950s, Phenix City was home to the “Dixie Mafia,” and
crime and corruption ruled roughshod over the little riverfront city. Take a
walk with author Faith Serafin as she travels through the darkest recesses of
Phenix City’s past.
