I'm not surprised the way black people were still being treated 20 years after the Civil War here. It's almost like nothing changed.
I know Governor O'Shawn's character was actually Governor O'Neal not much a stretch there. The streets he mentioned are all still here except Market Street and I think that's Court Street now but I'm not sure. BeShear's Crossroads may be Threet's Crossroads again I'm not sure about that. I've read that Roger's Dept store was suppose to be The Store but he denied it. He also denied that Jerry Catlin was a self-portrait of himself. I read some of that here http://chotank.com/astrib.html
