I worked for Tyson Foods one summer in the late 90s at the cold storage distribution facility in Russellville, Arkansas. The coaches at Arkansas Tech University, where I played strong safety for the Wonder Boys, set it up so a small band of us who were sticking around town for the summer were able to make a little money and provide some seasonal help.
I remember that summer with a certain nostalgia. And even though I push buttons on a keyboard for a living now, there are afternoons when I daydream about stacking boxes of chicken onto trucks and running pallet jacks up and down the docks.
Excerpt from ‘A Shot in the Moonlight’ by Ben Montgomery Ben Montgomery A Shot in the Moonlight by Ben Montgomery.
After moonrise on the cold night of January 21, 1897, a mob of twenty-five white men gathered in a patch of woods near Big Road in southwestern Simpson County, Kentucky. Half carried rifles and shotguns, and a few tucked pistols in their pants. Their target was George Dinning, a freed slave who’d farmed peacefully in the area for 14 years, and who had been wrongfully accused of stealing livestock from a neighboring farm. When the mob began firing through the doors and windows of Dinning’s home, he fired back in self-defense, shooting and killing the son of a wealthy Kentucky family.
