Come sit with me and let me share some tales about: Five boys who
find a lost pony and learn a lesson from an artist who paints naked
women; A sheriff who tries to save a boy's soul before he hangs
him; A southern aristocrat whose pet owl flew freely through his
antebellum mansion; A turkey buzzard named "Damnit" who makes a
great contribution to science; The earth's last giant in whose hair
and beard live orphaned and homeless animals; A mentally ill and
dangerous boy who witnessed a terrifying scene during the Civil
War; A spirit who quotes scripture and warns a young girl against
impending danger; And about bootleggers, cock fighters,
rattlesnakes, a gentleman Devil, a hill lady of ill-fame, and other
animals and humans well worth knowing.
These stories span more than two hundred years in the South. They
tell of: a Confederate Captain whose son is killed by his side in
battle; a white woman searching for her black lover on the
battlefield in Nashville; a slave who is almost killed at birth by
her mother; a woman captured by Indians; two boys who hunt a
'man-killer' bear; a former slave and former Confederate Colonel
riding in a wagon, drinking hard-cider and talking about the past;
a fox hunter converted by the conquest of a great hound; and others
that tell of good people and of some who are just awful. Most of
all, these stories are about all kinds of love.
