...frame topped by a theatrical thatch of silver hair, he looked like a cartoonist's Claghorn-and spent money like a Dixie Gatsby. At one celebrated Boykinalia in 1949, nearly every VIP in Washington came to Frank's house to sample a potpourri from his favorite huntin' and fishin' spots. There was salmon from Quebec, pheasant from the Dakotas, antelope from Wyoming, elk from Montana, bear from Georgia-not to mention coon, possum, squirrel and deer from his own 100,000-acre preserve in Alabama...
...Indian brave named Running Bear who loved an Indian maid named Little White Dove but was separated from her by a raging river. He plunged in, and she plunged in, and "The raging river pulled them down/ Now they'll always be together/ In that happy huntin' ground."

His hero is Skeeter, a likable 14-year-old who lives with his illiterate uncle in a shack on the edge of a Mississippi swamp. Life is simple to the point of vacuity-a little huntin', a little fishin', some wood cuttin' when the groceries run low. "Swamp sprout" that he is, Skeeter dreams mostly of a "li'l old" shotgun. Uncle Jesse has his dream too: he's going to get him a set of "Roebuckers" (false teeth...
