We All Are Going Home From The Falls And Tales
The narrator recalls a spring journey from Toccoa into Habersham County Georgia, visiting Tateusan-Tue Terrie and the Terrora Falls. He reflects on memory, family in the old south woods, and the hemlock he sees, while recounting unusual episodes with an Irish minister, a red man called Injin John, and snippets of village life including a romantic comedy involving Jonathan Dobikins and Susan Peabody as a city suitor arrives and a two wives tale unfolds.
