This charming memoir offers a rare glimpse into the vanishing world of small-town America in the early 20th century. Roy Webster, a beloved Southern writer, draws from his childhood experiences growing up on a farm in rural Georgia to paint a vivid portrait of a simpler time and place. With a keen eye for detail and a warm, nostalgic tone, Webster transports readers to a world of buttermilk churns, horse-drawn plows, and the rhythms of rural life before the advent of modern conveniences.
Beyond its nostalgic appeal, “Under a Buttermilk Moon” is a valuable historical document, preserving the traditions, dialects, and folkways of a rapidly disappearing era. Webster’s rich descriptions of farm life, local customs, and the natural world around him offer a fascinating window into the daily realities of rural Southern living in the early 1900s. This signed first edition, though showing some gentle wear from being well-loved, remains a treasured artifact for collectors of Southern literature and Americana.
