The View from My Ridge is a collection of finely crafted micro-essays offering a unique perspective on the spirit and personality of the mid-twentieth century American South—an era marked by the Great Depression, World War II and Korea, the “innocent” fifties and the turbulent sixties. The voice is that of an author in the midst of his own evolution from naïve mill-town boy to highly educated Episcopal priest and ever-questioning theologian.
Written in 1977 and originally published in 2003, this Revised 2nd Edition includes only the original manuscript. The selected essays and short stories that made up the second half of the first Canopic edition have been left out in order to accentuate the author’s original intent. The photos were added from the author’s personal collection and other sources, including photos developed in his backyard shed-turned-darkroom in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Rossville, Georgia, circa 1944-50.
