He Was Hanged at Dawn But She Had Already Built Four Rifles

They hanged the bayou marksman at dawn. By noon, rifle fire returned from four directions. In 1856 Louisiana, a gunsmith named Darius Beland was forced to repair guns for the men who enslaved him. His wife Nerissa heard every secret in the plantation storehouse. When they killed his brother, she built 4 rifles. The Iron Riders thought they ended the legend at dawn. She proved them wrong. This is the untold true story of the bayou rebellion history tried to erase. This is a dramatized historical story based on real antebellum records. Characters and some events are fictionalized for storytelling. #BlackHistoryUntold #BayouMarksman #SlaveryResistance
