Destinyʻs Chickens* by Francis Irby Gwaltney

*A long term TBR item; it is the only Gwaltney title that the Hawaiʻi State Public Library System owns.

I am still looking for the title of a Gwaltney political title, taking place in his native Arkansas, that I read decades ago. Though he is peremptory and inclined to cut corners, I still consider him in a class with Edwin OʻConnor and
Edward T. Field as a political novelist.

I (199) played on the last letter of 197 as 198 had not yet shown up when I responded. Since 198 does seem to have come in a minute sooner Iguess we should continue with last letter of 198.
