   Ray Lum (1891-1977) was an American original, a one-of-a-kind figure. In this book he speaks his mind in a colorful
folk dialect and tells of the world in which he presides. Mules were his main interest. His home and his auction barn
were in Vicksburg, Mississippi, but in trading he fanned out over twenty states and even into Mexico. Over several years
William Ferris tape recorded many long conversations with Lum. In them Lum gives the ins and outs of livestock
auctioneering, cheery memories of rustic Deep South culture, and a philosophy of life that is grounded in good horse
sense.



 Review From Publishers Weekly

   Born in 1891 in rural Mississippi, Ray Lum traveled the South for 60 years as a respected livestock trader and
auctioneer, collecting rich experiences he retold--even at universities and folk festivals--in a colloquial, humorous
and generous voice. Ferris, coeditor of the Encyclopedia of Southern Culture , interviewed Lum (who died in 1977), and
notes that his life "bridged the disparate worlds of black and white, of old and new, of South and West."
Lum's tales, organized into six chapters of narrative, might better be chopped into episodes, but they remain valuable
for those interested in such folklore. His language is vivid (a cemetery is a "marble orchard") and his voice
wise (when he loses money on an early deal, the lesson is, "You don't absolutely have to have, you can do
without"). Among many adventures, Lum bested cheating gypsies who offered a pretty but vicious horse, ate barbecued
rattlesnake, made a deal for wild Texas horses and barely avoided the outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. "I'm fine,"
said Lum in his old age. "I just need to have my speedometer set back." This book lets him live on. 



 Review From Library Journal

   Ferris serves a slice of Southern life in this presentation of the wit and wisdom of Ray Lum, livestock trader and
auctioneer. Born in 1891 in rural Mississippi, Lum bartered horses and mules throughout the South and Southwest. He
recalls his travels and life experiences with the passion and color characteristic of a consummate storyteller. These
personal reflections are a tribute to a way of life gone by and a preservation of its memory. The volume opens with a
foreword by Eudora Welty [not on audio book] and concludes with an extensive bibliographic essay and endnotes. Full of
humor and the drama of life, this book will delight a wide range of readers.
