Why read it?

I bought Coyote Settles the South a couple of years ago and decided to reread it again this year. The author, John Lane (an English professor at Wofford College, Spartanburg, South Carolina), became intrigued by coyotes when he encountered them living near his home.

John Lane is an engaging writer, and this is a thoroughly enjoyable read.
