| Gary Mitchell was reared in rural South Alabama, and the memories that he captured in this book are some of the fondest that he recalls during that special time when life seemed so much simpler. Family has always been central in his constellation of influences. “Whippoorwills at Dusk along Gourd Neck Road” is a collection of stories recounted by some of his most significant, influential family members, as well as some of his own experiences during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. The book also contains a brief description and history during his early years of the small community in which he spent most of his life. Fullers Crossroads is a small community just north of Luverne, the seat of government for Crenshaw County, Alabama. This community and the small dirt lane, Gourd Neck Road, which is located within the community, is the focus for the majority of the stories recounted in the book. These stories were recorded to prevent them from dying at the passing of the author’s generation. It is hoped that the reading of this book will allow the reader to experience similar recollections from their own past so that they, too, will share those precious memories to the current generation. |
