Missouri was a border state, but his family was from Tennessee. And he can spin a yarn like a Southerner.<BR/><BR/>Go to Maggie's website, she has lots of reviews of Southern authors. Some of my favorite are Willie Morris, Clyde Edgerton, Ferrol Sams and to throw in some women: Flannery O'Conner, Doris Betts, and Elizabeth Dewberry.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-53688404879510027952007-05-17T11:08:00.000-04:002007-05-17T11:08:00.000-04:00I've been Googling a bit, trying to find Southern ...I've been Googling a bit, trying to find Southern authors and Mark Twain's name keeps popping up.
