A classic work on small community life in rural Alabama in the age before automobiles.Since its first publication in 1957, Horse and Buggy Days on Hatchet Creek has been a favorite of readers who have enjoyed the entertaining, highly readable account of a southern boys life in the 1880s and 1890s. With a wry sense of humor and cleareyed affection, Mitchell Garrett recalls growing up in a verdant valley of the Appalachian foothills in eastern Alabama.The Hatchet Creek community in Clay County was Garretts whole world. Just three miles wide and six miles long, it contained everything small farmers needed for a susTa&iactue;noble way of life: arable land, fresh springs and flowing creeks, a grist mill, a post office, a school, a store, churches, a country doctor and apothecary, mules and horses. Times were hard but the hill people always ate well from their own gardens and larders. They entertained themselves with revivals, weddings, funerals, political parades, sorghummakings, and Sacred Harp singings. When rambunctious boys and girls werent picking cotton or doing daily chores, they skinnydipped in the millpond; hunted for opossum, quail, and squirrel; fished for eels and goggleeyed perch; and played party games called "paddle cat" and "grunts."Horse and Buggy Days on Hatchet Creek will capture the readers imagination as it opens a window on the thriving culture of a bygone era. Mitchell Garretts neighbors and kinpreachers, teachers, storekeepers, millers, housewives, and childrenwill live again in the pages of this classic tale.
