This morning I took the time to read this thread from top to bottom, and once again I'm stunned at the power of the internet. Here are people who experienced first hand the climate in which this horrible story played out, speaking with people like me, who felt the power of the events only through the force of Bob Dylan's writing. Thank you all for coming forward with your memories of that terrible time and your first-hand accounts of life after the lonesome death of Hattie Carroll.
