JS Williams, 1883
Anyone familiar with the redneck code knows about the infamous JS Williams. A gay man, JS Williams experienced great adversity in his early years, which caused him to venture into the woods to escape his town's severe homophobia at the age of 19.
JS Williams re-entered society in late 1882. One of the first establishments he encountered was a small orphanage being shut down due to funding issues. He adopted one of the children, Doby Nondal, and gave him all of his redneck inheritance in 1850.
Before his death, he published the Redneck Code in 1883, helping others struggling like him to find community around a love for the outdoors, regardless of race, gender, and sexuality.
