Red Fox / Second Hangin’

Red Fox/Second Hangin' is the true story of M.B. "Doc" Taylor, "the Red Fox" -- a red-headed, red-bearded, popular preacher, doctor, mystic, and U.S. marshall -- and the coming of the first coal boom to Central Appalachia in the 1890's. This 90 minute video, shot in 1982 at a live performance in Carcassone, Kentucky, aired on PBS stations nationally. The play was written by Don Baker and Dudley Cocke and performed by Don Baker, Gary Slemp, and Frankie Taylor. A production of Appalshop/Roadside Theater, the video was produced by Dudley Cocke, directed by Don Baker, and edited by Anne Lewis.
