this is old news, but the state's vanishing georgia collection is a real time waster---you can search by county or whatever---18,000 images, nearly 1,000 from fulton county alone---aftermath of the 1917 fire out boulevard, chain gangs, you name it---

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570

I'm thinking that, strangely, their was probably a certain amount of pride that went with being in a chain gang. At least there is a certain amount of comraderie and group identification...it's a "gang" after all.
