Living in the lush world of the Okefinokee Swamp in Georgia, Clint Sheppard determines that the only way to rise above the swamper's cabin which he shares with his mother, is by education, which takes money. Selling herbs to the druggist, Clint discovers a twig of a rare plant--the reward from a botanical society would make school a possibility, but others are looking for the plant as well.

Excerpt from In the Okefenokee: A Story of War Time and the Great Georgia Swamp The double barrels of the gun had been separated from the stock, and were held upright in a shallow tin basin of water from the spring. The ramrod, wrapped carefully with cloth, was drawn back and forth in the barrels, piston fashion, causing the water to be sucked in and sprayed forth from the tubes, and thus removing the accumulations of burnt powder and wadding. I 'm goin' to give her a good cleaning this time, Charley, said the elder boy, and maybe the next time I jump a deer she won't fail me.

This innovative history of the Okefenokee Swamp reveals it as a place where harsh realities clashed with optimism, shaping the borderland culture of southern Georgia and northern Florida for over two hundred years. From the formation of the Georgia colony in 1732 to the end of the Great Depression, the Okefenokee Swamp was a site of conflict between divergent local communities. Coining the term “ecolocalism” to describe how local cultures form out of ecosystems and in relation to other communities, Megan Kate Nelson offers a new view of the Okefenokee, its inhabitants, and its rich and telling record of thwarted ambitions, unintended consequences, and unresolved questions. The Okefenokee is simultaneously terrestrial and aquatic, beautiful and terrifying, fertile and barren. This peculiar ecology created discord as human groups attempted to overlay firm lines of race, gender, and class on an area of inherent ambiguity and blurred margins. Rice planters, slaves, fugitive slaves, Seminoles, surveyors, timber barons, Swampers, and scientists came to the swamp with dreams of wealth, freedom, and status that conflicted in varied and complex ways. Ecolocalism emerged out of these conflicts between communities within the Okefenokee and other borderland swamps. Nelson narrates the fluctuations, disconnections, and confrontations embedded in the muck of the swamp and the mire of its disorderly history, and she reminds us that it is out of such places of intermingling and uncertainty that cultures are forged.

Could a bigfoot like creature ever have lived in a swamp in south Georgia without being known about but to a handful of humans? And if they knew about it's existence why would they keep the story to themselves? Archived local papers in certain regions of south Georgia have only one or two articles that reference "The Kinchafoonee Swamp Monster" or "The Grey Ghost of Kinchafoonee." Author and storyteller, Steve White claimed that another story existed and would provide new insight towards the creature's possible existence and how it may have successfully avoided being discovered. In the first story released from the Southern Tales collection, find out what happened when 7 year old Rickey Johnson gets lost in same swamp where this creature of myth might have also resided, the man sent in to rescue him, and how the story may have been lost to the echoes of history....until now. As the reader, you get to decide if the story has more of the making of a legend or a lie.
