In Yesterday’s Children, novelist Paul Bellerive rolls back the clock to 1960’s Leesburg, Louisiana. It is here, and in retrospective that an older man recounts his high school years after moving from Ohio to the Deep South. Through his remembrances, he acquaints us with a community shaped from the sullied clay of an honored Confederacy. Notable for an adherence to old-fashioned conventions, Leesburg shunned outsiders, new ideas, impoliteness, racial integration, or any other challenge to its illiberal plantation-day heritage. Indeed, people there heeded the lineal nature of its autocratic past – led by an ancestral judge whose presence alone stirred awe and effected intimidation. Only the high-minded or enraged dared defy civil protocol. When they did, the unofficial arm of straight-laced citizen convincers meted out justice through beatings, lethal force, or by organizing denizen leagues to maintain decency. Anchored and serene as Leesburg may have tried to appear – glorified by mossy cypress groves, cool swimming holes, kingly fields of cotton, and winning high school football team – an unwanted wave of national reforms and foreign affairs swamped the community’s uprightness, providing no life boat for its distressed youth.
