He was born in Winder (rhymes with binder), 46 miles northeast of Atlanta, the son of a struggling county courthouse lawyer. He was brought up with six brothers and six sisters amid a smoky Georgia haze of swollen, mud-yellow streams and blowing red dust, of pine-cone fires and fireflies and summer thunder, of white new-blown cotton and wild peach blossoms and slow mules dragging their lazy load.

His own reply: "Having no access to the landscape, the lover of forest and stream, the friend of mist and haze, enjoys them only in his dreams.
