Books by Jock Lauterer

In Hogwild readers learn that the term "Hogwild" was an outrageous ideology - that a loosely organised confederation of like-minded individuals could carve out a simple country lifestyle from an enclave of mountain land, raise their own crops, bring up their children in peace and serenity, and build their own free-spirited houses in an environmentally conservative fashion.

In the isolated North Carolina mountains, old-timers relive their lives in bits and pieces. Lauterer introduces thirty-five mountain folk whose memories and experiences bridge two centuries, a generation whose moral values and skills are fast becoming obsolete, a people who give the South and America its deeply rooted heritage. Originally published in 1980.
