Summary

The Writings of an Old Virginia Country Boy is a collection of imaginative takes based loosely on the experiences of J. Richard Grove, a native of Virginia who grew up not only before technology was rampant, but before electricity, automobiles, and television had dulled the sound of creeks running and woodpeckers tapping. These stories run the gamut from descriptions of country life to adventures during The War, and tell the tale of a life well lived. Book jacket.
