From the heartland of Duck Dynasty comes a fresh look at a very old part of America. In this personal collection of stories native Ron Coody brings readers timeless tales from the wilderness guaranteed to bring at least one chuckle and tear and maybe several more. Wandering in stately pine groves and deep swamps people and critters have lived life in their backwoods ways worth observing. Grab a glass of ice tea, turn down the fire on the turnip greens and enjoy a leisurely walk in the West Monroe Backwoods.
“Thank you for sharing a copy of BACKWOODS with me. Having grown up just a short distance from your homeplace I can well remember some of the places you reference. I actually rode my horse on Rainbow Drive when it was a dirt road. Your descriptions of the places and people of your childhood seem so real to me. Your love for your family and for your hometown shines through in all your stories. Thanks for sharing them with me.” –Mayor Dave Norris, West Monroe
