The people, the lore, even the sounds of eastern Kentucky come vividly to life in this affectionate story of a boy and his search dog.
In the shadow of Sourwood Mountain, fourteen-year-old Aram Tate is absorbed in the sometimes painful process of growing up. His all-consuming passion is to own a hound dog of his very own, and his efforts to achieve this dream involve him in a series of amusing adventures which broaden his boy’s-eye view of the world. Through his friendship with ne’er-do-well Eb ringtom, Aram Learns the ways of men as they never were described in books. Among the other colorful characters who contribute to the boy’s education are Lighting and Napoleon, two imcomparably wily gamecocks; Thusla, Eb’s great hound whose exploits can only be described as apocryphal; and Rile Feder and his dog, the bluetick Tweedle, who fears neither coon nor fox.
