The omnipresence of chewing tobacco and its residues. Wolves roaming the antebellum forest, along with a host of poisonous snakes. Vultures cleaning the streets of Charleston, South Carolina. Clouds of dust choking the byways of Washington. The roar of insects on a Lowcountry night. Lincoln’s jokes.”
