Two Letters Then Booger Den: Land of Dark Waters [Paperback] Davis L. Temple

The story of Lee Sample?s difficult life and his fall from the heights of Wall Street to the pits of a Mississippi prison farm. The story reaches its horrific climax deep within the darkest of Mississippi swamps--Booger Den--a land of Indian spirits, dark waters, and death.

Davis Temple is an accomplished scientist who has spent many years working in biomedical research. He has published numerous scientific papers and articles and edited technical books and journals. His first work of fiction, Pandora's New Box was of the science fiction genre. Relevant to Two Letters Then Booger Den, much of the book is loosely based on the author's own remembrances of life in Tupelo, Mississippi, during the 1950s and '60s. This was also the Civil Rights era, and the author was a student at Ole Miss in 1962 during the riots that followed James Meredith's admission to the university. The descriptions of those racial disturbances at Ole Miss are based on the author's observations, and are historically accurate. Dr. Temple has also visited the Parchman Farm area on numerous occasions and is knows the people who live and work there. Dr. Temple has also been an advisor to Wall Street, and is well acquainted with the daily lives and haunts of Wall Street executives, an important element of the story.

He and his wife, Patty, love the water and live on Long Island Sound in Clinton, Connecticut, and along the Imperial River in Bonita Springs, Florida. The Temples have one daughter, Suzanne.
