"Joe Lively brings the Southside Virginia of almost a century and a half ago into sharp focus and then draws a vivid, colorful panorama from the long-ago land of my boyhood. His scenes and stories are authenticated by careful documentation and remarkable photography, and I, for one, know they are true. I grew up as a Depression Era farm boy in the 1920s and 30s in Lockett District of Prince Edward County, a scant two miles from the crossroads where that county, Joe Lively's Amelia and Nottoway Counties all come together. As a young lad, I walked barefoot down the same dusty country roads he describes. I listened to the same kind of storytelling about possum hunting and coon dogs, red-tailed hawks at mating time, and hoot owls calling in the moonlight along the dark valley of the Appomattox. There was even one time when I thought I heard the ghostly hoof beats of Civil War cavalry columns in the distance. I toted water in a wooden bucket from a spring, bathed in the creek on Saturday nights, shivered in the frosty air at hog killing time, and thrilled at the sound of banjos picking around the glowing midnight fire of tobacco barns. And Lively has captured it all -- in living detail. To me, however, the real value of this work extends far beyond the nostalgic enjoyment it affords the reader. Lively tells us something important about our past, about ourselves, and about what has brought us to where we are. Submariners call it "dead reckoning" -- when a sub can sense its present location and where it is headed from where it has been. Thanks, Joe, not only for entertaining our minds and touching our memories, but also for giving us a renewed sense of direction." -- Samuel Vaughan Wilson, Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Ret.), and Former President, Hampden-Sydney College, Rice, Virginia.
