Joy Jorden-Lake talks about -Under A Gilded Moon. A southern novel of historical fiction. “There’s something fascinating about the gilded age and this era…Very charming but also very worrisome The immense wealth that could be used in beautiful ways … some used their wealth in ways that some of us would be kind of horrified by, They had parties where they would roll up hundred dollar bills for people to smoke, . So there was that kind of thing going on… and then of course you have the industrialization and people trying to adjust to change. Many of these folks in the Appalachians had been quite isolated… So they were still adjusting to these people coming in from other parts of the country, using things like cash, You know this was very much a barter economy where you took your apples or chestnuts or your chickens, what ever you had to sell and traded for what ever you needed,.. And then you have somebody like George Vanderbilt coming in.. with millions and you have just the clash of cultures.”
If ever Hollywood lets us think that Ohh those awful Germans isn’t is a shame that Germany produced Hitler and we had our hands completely clean. … There were a lot of Americans and British folks and French folks, a lot of folks writing and thinking in ways that led to the Third Reich.
