ancestors anyone black civil dug expert facto fought graduated loaded men pageant performed raised survived taught trucks war
My ancestors fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War; I was raised in Natchez, Miss.; I performed in the Confederate Pageant for a decade; I dug ditches and loaded trucks with black men who taught me more than any book ever could; and I graduated from Ole Miss. Anyone who survived that is a de facto expert on the South.

I like taking a character at the most intense moments of their lives and exploring all that in full and then moving on.
