Publisher's Synopsis
For anyone who knew R. Linton Cox, Jr., on either side of Polecat Mountain, this book will be immediately recognizable for its humor, its warmth, its intelligence, and its focus on familial love. All of these traits exemplified Linton. Mr. Cox was an institution in Milledgeville, Georgia, at Georgia College where he long served as Registrar, at the Rotary Club to which he was passionately dedicated, at First Methodist Church, and, in later years, at his beloved Café South. But even if you never met the man, this book has something for everyone. It is gut-bustingly funny on one page and heart-wrenching on the next. It tells the story of a man who did his best to expand his horizons and his mind, while serving his country, his God and his fellow human beings to the best of his ability. To those who knew him, this book will evoke wonderful memories. Those who didn't will end up wishing they had.
