Re: [DL] Eldritch County

["Justin Baldwin" <innovmr@hotmail.com>]

FYI

I live in Nevada, Mo. "The Bushwacker Capital", about 15 miles from the 
Kansas border, and the boder war is not over for the denizens of this town. 
Every year they  have a fesival called bushwacker days which was held on the 
aniversery of the date that the town was burned to the ground for the first 
time. It is absolutly crazy. Historically, what is funny is the reason 
Nevada was so easily put to the torch was because the vast majority of the 
town was 20 miles away trying to burn another town  down.
