 Chapter Two opens with Buck awakening in the dark morning with his body stretched out over the wooden bed of a newly-painted railroad baggage truck parked at the Aven depot. Buck's sleep is interrupted by thoughts of his family and the life he's abandoned to pursue his teenage dreams of business conquest in Aven. The first three pages of this chapter give important details concerning the novel's most important characters in Buck's world: His mother, his father and his younger brothers Jeff and Hearn.

 Dr. Mazyck delivered me @ Moody. (from the April 26, 1936 BIRMINGHAM NEWS)

 I can't remember ever meeting Mrs. Mazyck but her memory sure triggered an excited response from one of my mentors, Dr. James Doster 1913-2016. Dr. Doster grew up on the BAMA campus. Doster Hall is named after his daddy. During his youth, Dr. Doster interviewed two people who SAW the Yankees burn the University and was acquainted with Dr. Smith who was another eyewitness and namesake for Smith Hall. I was over at Dr. Doster's house one day and we started talking about Dothan and he told me he once had a sweetheart in Dothan. He had kinfolks in Troy and Cowarts so he was in the Wiregrass social circle and he had a helluva crush on Marjory Moody, the future Mrs. Arthur Mazyck. I got to hear all about Marjory in Dr. Doster's Guild's Woods living room.                    https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/161172514/james-fletcher-doster
