Description
Excerpt from Songs of the Stalwart
Period went out of fashion in the blue grass country of Tennessee - oh, yes, Tennessee has a blue-grass belt, too - and he came to New York by way of Atlanta, Georgia, where he wrote sport stuff ''which was reprinted all over the country, sometimes with due credit to the author and sometimes without it, which was an even greater compliment to the young man. I have heard that when a New York paper offered him a job and he accepted it, he was scared stiff for fear'' he wouldn''t be able to deliver. He need not have been. He made good twenty minutes after he landed in the Big Town. Per haps I am exaggerating there. It may have been as long as half an hour.
