The Reconstruction era, especially dating from the late 19th and early 20th century was marked by a mythic nostalgia for a South that never existed, disgust for former slaves, a belief in the degeneracy of its internal enemies, violence, “fascist to the core”.

We are expecting over 5 inches of rain here in the mountains above Springville over less than 3 days. The land is still healing from a series of severe fires over the last few years, with a brand new reconstructed road. It could be a big deal.
