Summary

“This imaginative piece is a beautiful example of a mouse giving birth to a mountain. On January 13, 1942, the author and his wife were guests at a brief dinner in the White House, at which by chance Winston Churchill was also present. On the basis of the casual conversation of this evening, Mr. Adamic engages in all sorts of ‘afterthoughts’—sentimental, prejudiced, irrelevant and now and again perceptive.”
—Robert Gale Woolbert, Foreign Affairs

    The Olympic Village—a gathering place for hot young athletes bursting with aggression and testosterone. 
Was it an act of sabotage? The rival diving team got me on my knees the night before our competition. They fed me their seed, sending my mind into a tailspin. 
Now, I’m on international television, fully hard in my little speedo. I can’t focus on diving—my dreams are falling apart. All I can think about is how good it felt to kneel for other men. It felt so good to accept their authority… 
What have they done to me…?

    Five years after the Civil War, North Carolina Republican state senator John W. Stephens was found murdered inside the Caswell County Courthouse. Stephens fought for the rights of freedpeople, and his killing by the Ku Klux Klan ultimately led to insurrection, Governor William W. Holden's impeachment, and the early unwinding of Reconstruction in North Carolina. In recounting Stephens's murder, the subsequent investigation and court proceedings, and the long-delayed confessions that revealed what actually happened at the courthouse in 1870, Drew A. Swanson tells a story of race, politics, and social power shaped by violence and profit. The struggle for dominance in Reconstruction-era rural North Carolina, Swanson argues, was an economic and ecological transformation. Arson, beating, and murder became tools to control people and landscapes, and the ramifications of this violence continued long afterward. The failure to prosecute anyone for decades after John Stephens's assassination left behind a vacuum, as each side shaped its own memory of Stephens and his murder. 
 
 
 
The malleability of and contested storytelling around Stephens's legacy presents a window into the struggle to control the future of the South.
