The chained lane at Springville
Tennessee · United States · Road
A dirt track ran off the side road into the fields with trees along both sides. They keep it chained now. A man was hanged down there.
In this small community in Henry County, Tennessee a dirt track leads off a side road back into the fields, with trees on both sides of it.
It is kept chained now.
A long time ago a man was hanged down there, and he is what people report.
Nothing more is recorded, and the absence is worth sitting with. A hanging on a back lane in west Tennessee, remembered by the community but with no name, no date and no record, describes a category of killing that happened across the American south in large numbers and was deliberately not written down.
That may not be what happened here. It is what the shape of the story suggests, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest.
The lane is chained and the land is private.
