Wiley Buck and Other Stories of the Concord Community

A gifted teller of tales sketches a lively picture of his boyhood in the old tobacco section of Person County, North Carolina, just south of the Virginia line. All the white grown-ups of the boy''s childhood were former slaveholders and former soldiers who had come through the Civil War and had met the need for readjustment.
