Made me realize something: wow, there are a lot of sad sack leaders in Civil War fiction. In that film, it was George Kennedy’s Colonel Fairchild. He only gets one scene but spends all of it in a seemingly deep state of depression. His tone is muted, his eyes are downcast, and his whole demeanor suggests he’s lost faith in the Union cause. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. But he nev...

Politics, History, Culture. The Free State of Jones. Posted by Charles Kenneth Roberts. On July 2, 2016. Free State of Jones. Last night, and I really liked it.
