Wanting to know more, I found the following passage written by Alyn Shipton: Mr. Gillespie's origins certainly did not presage a life of peace. Born in Cheraw, South Carolina, on 21 October 1917, Mr. Gillespie had a rough childhood.

"I used to fight anybody, big, small, white or colored," Mr. Gillespie once said. "I was just a devil, a strong devil."
