Walter Sullivan (1924-2006) was an author, critic, longtime Vanderbilt University professor, authority on Southern literature, and founding member of The Fellowship of Southern Writers. And Madison Jones (1925-2012) -- who was associated with the "Southern Agrarians" -- was a Fellowship charter member.

Exceedingly scarce in the first edition and seemingly rare signed.
