I don't think Gene has read that, if memory serves.
Speaking of literature, I'm gonna go off on a tangent...
Today, while doing some research on rivers around here, I came across a
reference to James Dickey's Deliverance. Dickey used to paddle the
Coosawattee, which was dammed to build Carter's Lake. We are going to
paddle the lower half of the Coosawattee in a few weeks-the part that is
mostly flatwater. If I recall, the movie was actually filmed in NE Ga
on the Chattooga(class 4+), supposedly the fictious Cahulawassee, and
before you start making fun of north Georgians, please remember that
those Foxfire Books you know and love are a more accurate depiction of
the people than the people in Deliverance. ANYWAY, I started thinking
about what a shame it was that so many people forget Dickey's other
theme...man against nature..and yet remember oh so well the man against
man part..lol..I heard Dickey speak once, and he mentioned that.
Feeling just a bit random,,
