"Men stood by their fences and looked at the ruined corn, drying fast now, only a little green showing through the film of dust. The men were silent and they did not move often. And the women came out of the houses to stand beside their men–to feel

Now all y'all can stop following me and go give Oliver a follow. Well done, Sir.
Rich Men North of Richmond has been uploaded to all major streaming platforms and will show up there in a few days.
Im still in a state of shock at the outpouring of love I've seen in the comments, messages and emails. I'm working to respond to everyone as quickly as possible.

Watching Terminal List with the wife. A scene reminded me when I had to run up a mountain carrying about 80lbs in my pack while rounds snapped over head and kicked up rocks at my feet. I was hoping one would hit me because I was so tired. They missed, made it to the top.

This song is called "Rich Men North of Richmond." It has been viewed MILLIONS of times.
The artist's name is Oliver Anthony. I just got off the phone with him.
With his permission, I'd like to share the story he told me that moved the deepest parts of my soul...

"The contrast between silence and sound, darkness and light, like that between summer and winter, was more strongly marked than it is in our lives. The modern town hardly knows silence or darkness in their purity, nor the effect of a solitary light or a single distant cry."

Douglas Southall Freeman calculated that he spent 6,100 hours on the 4 vols of R. E. Lee.
Henry Steele Commager told Freeman that R.E. Lee was the greatest of all American biographies. Gen. Douglas MacArthur wrote Freeman: “I congratulate you on the production of a masterpiece.”

A few things for those with ears to hear from my recent reading of Missouri history. At the advent of the Civil War Missouri was still largely a frontier state a—Southern frontier state. In 1860 75% of the people were of Southern stock, w/ Southern family ties & cultural bonds.

A study, first of its kind, unravels the South's deep, century-spanning reverence for the classics, a torch carried from colonial authors to James Dickey. In 'Classical Origins', Kibler lays bare the unique classical moulds shaping the South and the English Gentry, contrasting

This is what happens when you ignore the Pat Buchanan was right tweets and don't read the Southern Agrarians, M.E. Bradford, Russell Kirk, Richard M. Weaver, etc. They're still trying to assimilate us, and our Ancestors have been here for 400 years.
Unpopular take: mass immigration could save this country. These are hard-working, mostly Christian/Catholic people coming in. The Democrats want to immediately hook them on welfare and turn them into a permanent underclass voting bloc. We could prevent that by assimilating them.

Eliza Lucas Pinckney (1723-1793) is a key figure in Southern literary history. She re-introduced indigo to America in 1740. Her descendants helped spark the Southern Renaissance. And When she died in 1793, George Washington asked to be one of her pallbearers. ->

Nothing like a Sunday Southern Stew thread
Brunswick Stew is arguably the king of southern stews. You will find it in many BBQ restaurants and many families have their own recipe. Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia all claim to have invented this stew but I think it’s origins go back further in time.

If Southern poetry had flourished prior to the Civil War, it became increasingly dormant in the half century after Appomattox. During this time, only Sidney Lanier could be considered a major Southern poet, and he died in 1881.
