Inspired by the works of Thoreau, Leopold, Abbey, and others who explored the connections between people and place, a native Arkansan offers thoughtful commentary on the culture, wild places, and wild things of his home. Johnny Carrol Sain is a product of his place but also a thoughtful writer who bucks the stereotype of backroad residents. Collected in this book for posterity, his essays dig into the ethos of hunting and fishing, the privileges and disadvantages of living in a culture still clinging to old ways, and a transcendent connection to the land, its water, and its creatures. Sain's perspective is an unexpected take on what it means to be born and bred in the rural South
