In his 2011 book,
American Nations, Colin Woodard wrote about culturally diverse "nations" across America. Woodard puts Cameron, Texas in the "Deep South" nation and we agree. There you see aristocratic ideals, and a caste oriented almost plantation culture. In Littlefield, part of Woodard's "Greater Appalachia," you see a kind of apple-pie independence, very different. Visiting people in those areas to gather information for
Clovis Road was such a contrast. Early on we saw these differences first hand as we investigated the Dr. Roy Hunt murders. +David (Sammy) Samuelson helped with site visits, interviews, and document searches on our first lengthy visit to the Littlefield area.
