<h2><font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b> About The
Book:</b> In Drumfire in Letters, Poetry, and Prose, </i>Goff Owen
evokes the true spirit of rural life on the plateau overlooking the
Tennessee River of northeastern Alabama in the years preceding and during
the First World War. The boy becomes a young man, enlisting in the
Coast Artillery of the military service, is sent overseas, and serves in
France as a radio sergeant. Devastated by the death of his mother
in the influenza epidemic of 1918, he returns after the war to the little
farm on The Mountain, at Section, Alabama, a few miles distant from
Scottsboro.</font></h2><br>
