Book excerpt: "Hills Ditches and Dead Shots: Notes on a Southern Life" distills, in short fiction and reminiscences, the author's response to growing up on Virginia's Northern Neck, a rural region that held on to many of its Old South ways even as the world around it lurched into what it is now - a modern world that Harry often looked on with amused disdain. He chronicles what was being lost, what was coming, and what would never change. Now, readers can appreciate this rare author's unique voice and vision. You'll find your own surprises in "Hills Ditches and Dead Shots," along with a privileged glimpse of a man of keen observations, a powerful imagination, and a generous spirit.
