About

Clyde Bolton has long been a dean of the Southern sports-writing community. Now this popular columnist focuses his beguiling prose on his boyhood memories in his delightful memoir, Hadacol Days. The title is taken from a high school cheer: "Statham Wildcats on the Ball, They've Been Drinking Hadacol." The Statham in the cheer refers to Statham High School, Statham, Georgia, now as long gone as Hadacol, but equally effervescent in the author's nostalgic but clearheaded look back at what life was like in small Southern towns of the 1940s and 1950s.

Reviews

"Hadacol Days is an absolute delight from beginning to end. It's the story of one boy's love affair with a small southern town and the people who lived there. It also tells the story of the larger world, especially in the Forties and Fifties, and of the life of a very gifted and accomplished writer whose impressive body of work keeps on growing. Clyde Bolton has done it again, and his obvious joy
Philip Williams, author of The Campfire Boys and The Flower Seeker
"As a son of the small-town South, I can testify that what Clyde Bolton has written in Hadacol Days is honest, genuine and heartfelt. Clyde proves beyond a doubt that a place can be a character in a tale, and in his case, one to be cherished. A lovely piece of writing by a truly gifted storyteller."
Robert Inman, author of Dairy Queen Days and Captain Saturday
"Great coming-of-age memoir."
