The Boyington Oak History
Journeyman printer, poet, and musician, Charles Boyington, a nineteen-year-old young man, was hanged for the murder of his critically ill best friend. From the gallows he predicted a great oak would grow from his grave as proof of his innocence. It still stands almost 200 years later here in beautiful Mobile, Alabama.
