Omschrijving
The rural folk humor of the ""Devil's Fork"" letters that a young Charles Fenton Mercer Noland (1810-1858) of central Arkansas began writing in 1837 was something the country wanted. His pieces were published regularly in New York's ""Spirit of the Times"", and he achieved a reputation as one of the southwest's best humorists.
Leonard Williams published Cavorting on the Devil’s Fork with Memphis State University Press in 1979. Williams taught at the University of North Alabama in Florence. He was killed in an automobile accident in 1988, and was one year younger than Noland was when he died.
George E. Lankford is an emeritus professor of folklore at Lyon College in Noland’s hometown of Batesville, Arkansas. He is the editor of Bearing Witness: Memories of Arkansas Slavery Narratives from the 1930s WPA Collections, now in its second edition.
