    Beech Mountain Man
    The Memoirs of Ronda Lee Hicks
    Thomas Burton
    With a Foreword by John Shelton Reed

    “Thomas Burton’s edition of what amounts to an autobiography of Ronda Lee Hicks-fighter, drinker, womanizer, and storyteller-represents a wiff of late-night honky-tonk whiskey and tobacco in its realism. . . . Hicks is a talented raconteur, whose gifts are well displayed in Burton’s careful editing.” —Erika Brady, Western Kentucky University
