Paperback. Condition: Good. Daisy Tales and Other Stories of My Grandfather's Younger Days in the South Georgia Piney WoodsBy: Joseph P. Byrd, IV Daisy Tales and Other Stories of My Grandfather's Younger Days in the South Georgia Piney Woodsis a book of stories, remembrances and maybe a few tall tales as recounted by the author's maternal grandfather, William Leroy Edwards.Much of the material, obtained by his father, was transcribed by his mother in the summer of 1955 when his widowed grandfather visited their home. Upon reading his grandfather's stories, the author was transported back in time to the Georgia frontier and impressed with his sense of humor.
