Today I picked up the book GOING HOME TO NICODEMUS. INTERESTING HISTORY! It explains a lot about how African-Americans were first talked into going to Nicodemus and what they saw there. Told about the promised land, and seeing the promised land were two totally different experiences. The first pioneers arrived to see the first homes were dugouts. At least one woman cried.
Also, how could a government give people free or low cost property when all they do is show up? The rest of the pioneers had to improve the land. How much was truthful, a stretch of the truth, or an outright lie?! I'll keep you posted as I read the book.
