There is something about low-country writers which is just compelling. I know Roger Pinckney's writings and always enjoyed him. Maybe my interest was brought on by growing up in Gainesville, Florida and wandering the swamps and scrub oaks (big scrub) of the Saint Johns river area as a boy. My own cousin Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings wrote "Cross Creek" in the 1940's which is as good a memoir of what it like to live in that area at the time as any. God Bless Roger. . .you certainly left a legacy.
Florida had 1.5 million population at the time. . .there were still panthers in Ocala National Forest.
