The mother of twelve years old Jeremiah farms out her misbehaving son to a Georgia railroad watchman, Clysters to work as a cowherder at his rustic railroad shack. Jeremiah meets Mr. Toplynch, a limping horse trader, nicknamed Horsefoot; the watchman mother in law, better known as the hag; Pickshyst, the country bumpkin neighbor; old man, Buck Koch, a true friend and adviser, Bertie Bangaux, a knock-kneed bitch; Satchelmouth Billie-Joe, the chivalrous cattle driver and best man on most local weddings; Rosie the fair maiden, Percy Googlynch the ghost and other odd characters. Riding on an avalanche of outrageously funny confrontations and regional colloquialisms, this irreverent and hilarious story of mistreatment and retaliations quickly unfolds and sparkles vividly on each page. Will Jeremiah, a progressive minded and witty but powerless deckhand succeed against a backward group of greedy white thrash and write down, for the whole world to know, his grand, justice for all thoughts before he forgets them while he must work hard to earn his living? The reader of this book will take a side-splitting but mind soothing trip into the past that existed before electricity, cars and of course, text messaging.
