Growing up on a farm in the Deep
South during the twenties and thirties
may not have been easy, but the little
boy named Nixon Smiley certainly was
not aware of it. And surrounded by a cast
of loving, funny, crazy, zany, and just
plain ornery characters, he made the most
of whatever opportunities offered them-
selves.
Life was a lot different half a century
ago. Food from the land was generally
abundant, cash scarce, and luxuries un-
known. Wearing overalls as did his peers,
sharing his elementary classroom with 21-
year-old Juddie Matlock, accepting his
grandpa s "typical Crowder binges," do-
ing "boypower" work on the farm, stalk-
ing wild turkeys and fishing in deep holes
in the "boogery swamps"-all were simple
facts of life and part of Smiley s youth in
Crowder.
His grandparents, who raised trim; his
uncle Scar, who died in prison; Clint, the
jovial blacksmith; Zenus the lazy peddler,
his friend Boisey, the sharecropper; jivin
Jiggy Jat Joe; Peggy, the killer; a bogus
southern colonel and and some memorable
Civil War veterans; and many more color-
ful characters make up the world that
Smiley grew up in.
