Abstract

I come from a family of preachers, teachers, and farmers, not academics, and most members of my extended clan don't seem to have any clear sense of what a college professor actually does on, say, Tuesdays. Don't worry. I'm not about to spill the beans. My late Uncle Dewey Tyson, however, may have already suspected s something. When I told him that I was moving to Wisconsin to be a historian, Uncle Dewey grinned and said, "Well, son, write when you get work." And so I did. Exiled to the land of frozen lakes and fearful assistant professors, I passed the cold winter nights writing the biography of one of the fieriest southerners who ever told a tale.
