The story of the 160 year-old documents intentionally destroyed in Franklin County, North Carolina is now nearly two months old. I haven’t blogged about it, but many others have. Click here to read about this travesty at the Stumbling in the Shadows of Giants website. Be sure to read the comments… That’s where it really gets interesting.
This story infuriates me. The lying, attempts to shift blame, the actions of the State Archives are reprehensible. The County Manager apparently hates historical records. Wonder what that is about.
