We set out on our Cornbread and Sushi road trip to look for the changing South, and driving through Charlotte, Chapel Hill, Roanoke, and Charlottesville we found it-towns changed to edge-cities, farmland changed to suburbs, two-lanes changed to four-lanes, small-scale farming changed to corporate agriculture, mom-and-pop businesses changed to chain stores.

Last week Richard Rankin visited our Rural South class at Wofford. Richard's a headmaster of a private school up in Gastonia, but much of his passion and pleasure is found in the subject of hunting in the South. He's got a PhD from the University of North Carolina in history, has edited an anthology of North Carolina nature writers, and compiled a history of a vast hunt club on Hilton Head Island that survived until vacation development became the chief industry of the island and sport hunting was pushed elsewhere. He's probably thought longer and deeper about hunting than anyone I know.
