Biography
Alexander Boyd was the county solicitor of Greene County, Alabama, who was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan on March 31, 1870. His murderers were never brought to justice. On the night of his murder, thirty Klansmen came riding to town, and a number of them went up to his room at the hotel he was staying at. Boyd put up unexpected resistance and a gunfight broke out, after which he came out of the room, wounded, and was killed.
