Talk:The Provincials

On factual errors in the 1973 version
Hertzberg p. 270 disputes some of the statements about Leo Frank stated in The Provincials: According to Hertzberg, Frank was killed in 1915 and came from the Northern United States ([...]was a Yankee[...]) instead of dying in 1913 and being from the South. Hertzberg added that Frank's wife and uncle had "deep roots in" Atlanta. Hertzberg also disputed the intensity of the reaction from Atlanta Jewish people to Frank's lynching, and argued that the author overlooked white farmers in pre-Civil War Southern society.

I do not know if these aspects were corrected for subsequent printings. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:15, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
