Excerpt from The Waters of Caney Fork: A Romance of Tennessee
Don't tell me that he is going to die, for he's the only friend I've got in the world.
The old woman got up with a protesting cry and put her arms about him, the boys seized him with affection, and they all wept together. In the morn ing the old mule was found dead in the stall.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey back in time to a rural Tennessee in the years following the Civil War. The author, reflecting on his youth in the antebellum South, paints a vivid portrait of a world where slavery was still a living memory. The book delves into themes of social change, the impact of war on a community, and the enduring legacy of the past. We encounter a cast of characters who embody the spirit of the time, from the author's eccentric grandfather, whose love of pea vines and penchant for drinking lead to hilarious anecdotes, to the enigmatic "Lady Edwards," a young woman with a troubled past who haunts the woods. The book explores the contrasts between the author's memories of a bygone era and the emerging landscape of the postwar South, offering a glimpse into a pivotal period of American history.
