Panther Tract: Wild Boar Hunting in the Mississippi Delta
by Melody GoldingHunting wild boar is a keenly held tradition in the Mississippi Delta. Fraught with danger, it challenges the hunter, observer, wildlife enthusiast, and landowner alike. Panther Tract is an insider's observance of extraordinary hunting, southern hospitality, camaraderie, and the love of dogs, horses, and hair-raising excitement. The over 160 photographs are representative of a “day at the hunt,” starting at dawn and ending well after dark. The tales center on vivid hunting experiences, both at Panther Tract, a large wilderness paradise in Yazoo County, owned by legendary southern gentleman Howard Brent, and in other locations in the Mississippi Delta. The narratives come from men, women, doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, politicians, farmers, sharecroppers' sons, and even a Hollywood screenwriter. Melody Golding's photographs focus on the Delta landscape and on the people and animals involved in the hunt. Portraits of the hunters, and their interactions with one another and their dogs and horses, fascinate. An award-winning photographer and an expert horsewoman, Golding brings a knowledgeable and critical eye to these images. The stories she collects range from traditional often humorous hunting tales to more serious accounts of the history of hog hunting in America. Hank Burdine, a Mississippi native and hunter who has written for many statewide publications, lends a broad vision to the history, statistics, and lore of hunting wild hogs. An appendix features hunt recipes by Chef John Folse and philosophy on the stewardship of harvesting the hog. A colorful and diverse assemblage of beautiful photographs and tales, this book reveals a treasured regional tradition.

Paradise Lane
by William TaylorWhen fifteen-year-old Rosie Perkins, an outcast at school, saves the life of a baby opossum, she finds an unlikely friend and ally in Michael Geraghty, a classmate who is her complete opposite. [From the front dust jacket flap] "No one likes Rosie Perkins. She lives in a rundown house on Old Dump Road (once called Paradise Lane), and she's too much of a loner to miss having friends. When she rescues a baby possum and lovingly takes it home, the class bullies play a loathsome trick on her: They shower her with dead possums on her way home from school. To Rosie, who only wants to be ignored, it seems like the end. Only Michael Geraghty goes back to where the boys leave Rosie. He finds her sobbing on the dusty ground, and out of remorse--a new emotion for him--he tries to apologize. But when Michael and Rosie talk, it's as if they're from different worlds, not neighboring houses: Michael's family is large and loud; Rosie's, confined and repressed. Rosie invests her possum Plum with all her love; Michael traps possums for money. But despite--or because of--their differences, they're drawn to each other. Not the tragic death of Plum, the truths Rosie uncovers about her mother, or the abuses of a possessive father can stop their feelings. A writer new to American readers brings to life two memorable characters and their extraordinary romance, which changes the life of one of them, and the thinking of both."
