The Milagro Beanfield War

Hello, I removed your addition to this article, and wanted to say a few words about why. What you added was interesting, but there is no reference, and no indication that the real town of Milagro has any connection to either John Nichols' novel or the film adaptation. Do you have a source that indicates that this town was his inspiration? That would be helpful. Cheers! ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 15:55, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Frank, thanks for your message, and for not flying off the handle, as is often the response when people see their additions deleted. What we need for this information to be included is not just evidence that the town really exists, but that John Nichols had that town in mind when he wrote the novel. If you can find the long essay Nichols wrote about the novel and its adaptation into the film, that might help. I have looked for it, but to no avail. Cheers! ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 15:04, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

TheOldJacobite...I can only prove that the town of Milagro exists but cannot link it to Mr. Nichols novel or essay. I am learning as I go and I thank you for your help...
