On the road with John Noel: Tales from the Altamaha’s “I Saw the Light”

Last Friday night, John Noel and I had a great time watching the 14th annual production of Tales from the Altahama This year’s folklife play was on point: “I Saw the Light” is the story of rural Toombs County electrification in 1937.
