Shadows of the Summer Solstice: . . .A Legend about a Farmer and the Green Ribbon Murder

It is high summer in 1872. Farmers toil in the sweltering heat to harvest what promises to be a bumper crop, working six days a week, sunrise to sunset. Wives and children participate in the intense labor. On Sunday, they feed their livestock, themselves, and then attend church. On June, 23, their reliable routine is shattered. The bones of this story are true. It was inherited from the author's father whose grandparents, Fred and Kate, were next-door neighbors to a thirteen-year-old girl named Mary. Phil reflects on the happenings from his room in The Golden Meadows Home nearly sixty years later: "The whole world's been operatin' fer too long on 'bite and be bitten in return.'--Duck Legs Phil.

What animal behaviors will 'civilized' individuals resort to to survive?
