Bishops, Bourbons, and Big Mules by J. Barry Vaughn explores the surprising influence of the Episcopal Church in Alabama, a state where evangelicalism has long dominated. Despite comprising only about 1% of the population, Episcopalians have shaped Alabama's cultural, political, and economic life--especially through elite groups like antebellum planters, post-war Bourbons, and industrial-era Big Mules. Vaughn traces this legacy from Anglican roots to the Civil Rights Movement, offering a compelling narrative of faith, power, and identity in the Deep South.
