“Oral history has played a major part in the creation of human cultures the world over. It played an especially important role in the heritage of the Celtic peoplesa people who placed high value on personal honesty but were never hesitant to improve a story, just a little, for the dramatic impact while leaving the essential truth untarnished.”from the section “About the Truth in Uncle Seth’s Stories”In his first foray into historical fiction, James Ronald Kennedy uses the “everyman” character of Uncle Seth to relay the Southern determination to be left alone by government and their strong commitment to community, God, and family.

Editorial : From the Inside FlapWell-known Southern historian James Ronald Kennedy branches out with this, his first foray into fiction, using a story-telling format. In the “everyman” character of Uncle Seth, Kennedy gives life to a mouthpiece for the Southern truths that he and his brother Walter Donald Kennedy have fought to bring to the public eye.
