Tony Horwitz Quote
I asked him if he thought there was better than here. Not better, he said. I mean, my great-great-grandpap got his leg shot off. But I feel like it was bigger somehow. Hawkins flipped through pages of Civil War pictures. At work, I mix dyes and put them in a machine. I’m thirty-six and I’ve spent almost half my life in Dye House No. 1. I make eight dollars sixty-one cents an hour, which is okay, ’cept everyone says the plant will close and go to China. He put the book back on the shelf. I just feel like the South has been given a bum deal ever since that War.
