description: A lyrical, poetic portrait of small town west Florida now vanished. Full of flashbacks in a seamless narrative, unfolding with Civil War ancestors, a brutal 1934 lynching, the death of a snake- handling Georgia preacher, snakekillers, foxhunters, whiskeymakers; hard white men honestly befriending the blacks sharing their trapped lives. Evoking the verdant beauty of the Chipola River country, Jesse Earle Bowden resurrects a generation living by sweat and muscle when the measure of men was surviving bullet-and-blade meanness.
