Who influenced Lewis grizzard?

Answer 1

It is hard to know who influenced Lewis Grizzard, but he was from the same small town of Moreland, Georgia, as Erskine Caldwell. He went to school in Newnan, Georgia. There were numerous cotton mills out from Newnan. The owners lived in Newnan. During the Civil War, Newnan survived unscathed. A number of writers, one of which was Margaret Mitchell, came there to do research and talk to the people who had lived there during the Civil War. The people of Newnan appreciated their literary visitors. Thus, you had a man of the soil taught to appreciate literature.
