Roads End — G.W. Reynolds III

G.W. Reynolds III takes his readers deep into the South Georgia woods in Roads End where he introduces the members of the Roads End hunting camp. These North Florida fathers, sons, brothers, and cousins traditionally gather at the camp on the first weekend of hunting season. Though opening day is the beckoning call to gather there, Reynolds' story is more about the rituals that define the fellowship of all men.

In Roads End, drink flows and so do the stories of past gatherings. Members entertain each other with hunting camp memories about friends and relatives, past and present. Reynolds reveals how young men are introduced to this brotherhood of honor and respect. Descriptions of the eternal battles between man and beast, man and man, and man and woman are vivid enough to reveal the strength and intensity of their impact on mankind, particularly to the gentlemen of North Florida.

G.W. Reynolds III has again revealed the culture, ceremonies, and instinct of today's American South. He ably discloses both the unique and the universal elements of manhood and builds a connection between friends and neighbors everywhere.
