As crazy as it sounds, this was a real punishment. Not a legal punishment, but for those unofficial moments when something had to be done. It was used mostly by mobs when communtiy standards were breached. Cowards, deserters and in old California, for wifebeaters and such vermin. Thank goodness, by the turn of the 20th century Law and Order took the place of the tar and feathers, except for rasist whites in the South.
After hearing about these old-fashioned crime deterrents, I don't long for 'the good old days'.

What eventually happens to the duke and king in the adventures of huckleberry Finn?
They are tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail (a log split into quarters, with the pointed, splintery side up to sit on- not the bark-covered round side). Very few people who are tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail, come back for more- which is the point. While it is not mentioned in the book, miscreants had their clothes removed, which made the hot tar even less pleasant. Rails were used to make fences, so they were always handy. Abraham Lincoln had something of a name as being a good rail splitter.
