Home:Books / Coon Dogs and Outhouses Volume II

Although Coon Dogs and Outhouses Volume II does not contain actual stories about a coon dog or an outhouse, they are there in the background. Both are always close to any rural, Southern setting. And most of these stories are about those rural, Southern folk who are really a breed unto themselves. For, you see, those are the folk I really know—the people of the soil.

Posted: Saturday, August 30, 2008 by Dr. Lucas G. "Luke" Boyd
J. Farnsworth Kelley turned off the lights in his office and set the alarm before he left the building. As usual, he was the last to leave.
