Reviews
Anne Royall is a marvelous subject, a bold eighteenth-century woman writer with a stinging wit and a contrarian approach. Challenging, intrepid, and unconventional, she played an important part in American cultural history. - Roxana Robinson, author of four New York Times Notable Books of the Year "The most interesting woman that I had never heard of... The muckraking and myth-making journalist, travel writer, and social critic Anne Royall was called both 'heroine' and 'common scold' in her time; her story holds reverberations and implications for us today." - Lee Smith, author of Dimestore: A Writer's Life, Praise for The Trials of a Scold : "Anne Royall is a marvelous subject, a bold eighteenth-century woman writer with a stinging wit and a contrarian approach. Challenging, intrepid, and unconventional, she played an important part in American cultural history."--Roxana Robinson, author of four New York Times Notable Books of the Year, including Georgia O'Keefe: A Life "Major environmentalist and activist Jeff Biggers turns to 18th century America to bring us a surprising story from the mountains of western Virginia--the most interesting woman that I, for one, had never heard of, despite my own Appalachian heritage. A true pioneer in every way, the muckraking and myth-making journalist, travel writer, and social critic Anne Royall was called both 'heroine' and 'common scold' in her time; her story holds reverberations and implications for us today."--Lee Smith, author of Dimestore: A Writer's Life Praise for Jeff Biggers: "Jeff Biggers's inspiring book should be a best seller immediately. It is a 'how-to' book--how to assert your fundamental rights and how to speak out in the manner of the American Revolution footsloggers, whose descendants they are. Read it and your faltering hopes will rise." --Studs Terkel on The United States of Appalachia "This is a world-shaking, belief-rattling, immensely important book. If you're an American, it is almost a patriotic duty to read it."-- Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love on Reckoning at Eagle Creek "Perhaps no issue captures better what it means to be American than the contentious legislative debate around who can become American. Certainly, that question will be a major part of the November election, and into the fray comes an examination of the controversial policies and practices in Arizona: State Out of the Union "- Publishers Weekly , Top Ten Social Science Titles, 2012 "Nobody writes about Appalachia like Jeff Biggers. His voice is a swirl of history and memory, of fact and analysis, of hillbilly wisdom and journalistic outrage. Reckoning at Eagle Creek is bigger and brawnier than a memoir or cultural chronicle--it's a passionate howl from the dark heart of American coal country."--Jeff Goodell, author, Big Coal

Synopsis
"A role model for those of us living in the age of Trump" -- Dorothy Allison Longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography Anne Royall was an American original, a stranger to fear who defied 19th century skeptics as a prolific literary force, satirist and social critic. Drawing from Royall's largely overlooked literary works, Jeff Biggers's Trials of a Scold is a groundbreaking and passionate biography of Anne Royall, America's first female muckraker, who was convicted as a "common scold" in 1829 in one of the most bizarre trials in the nation's history. Publishing her first book in 1826 at the age of 57, Royall reinvented herself as a "women politico" a generation before the Women's Suffrage Movement. She was a pioneering travel writer and satirist who broke ground on the wagon trails a generation before Mark Twain, and an investigative journalist who took on bankers and prison conditions a half century before muckrakers Ida Tarbell and Nellie Bly. She was the author of 10 original books, and publisher of a newspaper in Washington, DC for 25 years until the age of 85. One of the most famous, sharp-witted and controversial women of her times, Royall was raised in the backwoods of the South but educated herself in one of the great libraries in the region. She openly cohabitated with her husband prior to their wedding, but was then left widowed and destitute after her husband's family declared their marriage invalid. Turning to writing, Royall acquired fame and then enemies for her scathing and hilarious denouncements of corruption, incompetence and the blurry lines between church and state., A role model for those of us living in the age of Trump -- Dorothy Allison Longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography Anne Royall was an American original, a stranger to fear who defied 19th century skeptics as a prolific literary force, satirist and social critic.
