Where The Red Fern Grows - A Novel By Wilson Rawls.Where The Red Fern Grows is a novel written by the American writer, Wilson Rawls. It tells the fantastic tale of a boy and his two dogs which can be read as delightfully as reading a beautiful poem. They are a lovely threesome. Old Dan had physical strength, little Ann had intelligence and the boy, Billy trained them in coon- hunting as fur was one of the main revenues of the inhabitants of the Cherokee Nation in those times. They made the finest hunting team in that wild country. They even won coon-hunting championships. They will track the smell and footprints and tree a coon. The skillful coon will come down any day or time and they patiently will wait. Sometimes the clever coon will jump into the river, cross and recross and disappear, deceiving the team by leaving not a trace. Only intelligent dogs could coon-hunt and succeed. When the dogs sacrificed their lives for rescuing Billy from a Mountain Lion attack, Billy buried them in a sandstone ledge. A few months later when Billy along with his papa, mamma and two sisters were leaving the Ozarks village forever, he went to the sandstone ledge to pay his last homage. It was then that he saw that sight! 'There between the two graves, a beautiful red fern had grown from the rich mountain soil, fully two feet tall with it's long red leaves reaching out in rainbow arches, curving over the graves of his dogs'. Nature's homage to the unforgettable pair!Red Ferns are very rare to grow and where one grows, that spot is sacred. Only an angel can plant the seeds of a red fern, and they never die. The aborigins and the Indians of the wild west had a legend that in Winter, a little Indian boy and a girl were lost in a blizzard and were frozen to death. In Spring when they were found, a beautiful red fern had grown up between their two bodies, embracing them.To understand the spirit of the story, one has to know the background of Wilson Rawls. He was born and lived in the Ozarks Mountains of the Cherokee Nation, where he roamed the hills and valleys with his only companion-his dog. It is said that his first writings were done with his fingers in the dust of the country roads and the sands along the river and that his first stories were told to his dog, who never complained.He could get proper schooling and access to real books only after his family moved to Oklahoma.Where The Red Fern Grows was first published in 1961 by the Curtis Publishing Company. Doubleday and Bantam have issued editions. It certainly is a book to read and is a modern classic. It has since been made into a beautiful motion picture.
