Shared Air

Harry Kollatz, of Richmond Magazine and “The Hat” has a roustabout of a video – a movie trailer for a book, no less! Highlighting Kollatz’ “Richmond in Ragtime: Socialists, Suffragists, Sex & Murder,” the video offer Harry’s Chandleresque narration and features some great characters of Richmond’s Ragtime era: John Mitchell, Adon Yoder, Ellen Glasgow, James Branch Cabell and Maggie Walker. If you like your publishers and reporters swigging gin, swinging fists and toting six-guns this is your era. And yeah, it happened here.
