Sherwood Anderson grew up in Clyde and put the town, thinly renamed, into Winesburg, Ohio in 1919, a book of linked stories about the private deformities of small-town lives that changed what American fiction was allowed to do. Clyde was not grateful. The book was banned and burned locally. The town now has an Anderson marker and a museum corner, the argument having been settled by every writer he influenced.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
