When O'Neill first moved to Alabama, as a white Northerner, he felt
somewhat removed from the racism Confederate monuments represented.
Then one day in Selma, he stumbled across a group of citizens
protecting a monument to Forrest, the officer who became the first
Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and whom William Tecumseh Sherman
referred to as "that devil." O'Neill sets off to visit other
disputed memorials to Forrest across the South, talking with men
and women who believe they are protecting their heritage, and those
who have a different view of the man's poisonous history. O'Neill's
reporting and thoughtful, deeply personal analysis make it clear
that white supremacy is not a regional affliction but is in fact
coded into the DNA of the entire country. Down Along with That
Devil's Bones presents an important and eye-opening account of how
we got from Appomattox to Charlottesville, and where, if we can
truly understand and transcend our past, we could be headed next.
