Down Along With That Devil's Bones: A Reckoning With Monuments, Memory, and the Legacy of White Supremacy

"The past won't go anywhere--especially the racist past endorsed by the contemporary enablers of the Nathan Bedford Forrest mythology. O'Neill's combination of historical research on the 'Southern Cause' and Jim Crow racism, combined with visits the most contentious monuments to slavery, bring this work to visceral life. Down Along With That Devil's Bones brings to mind Tony Horwitz's Confederates in the Attic, but there's much less to laugh about as O'Neill gives us the endless monumental horror of a country's refusal to shake free from the roots of a long racist history."
