A lot of people not familiar with the Gulf Coast of Mississippi may
wonder just what sort of "Southern accent" the kids in my novel A Death
on the Wolf have. This is an excerpt from a news story taken in Pass
Christian just after Camille went through in 1969. This boy is digging
through the rubble looking for anything that could be salvaged and the
reporter is asking him about it. The boy has the quintessential
Southern Mississippi accent.
