Biographical notes:

Andrew Nelson Lytle (Dec. 26, 1902-Dec. 12, 1995) was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and graduated from Vanderbilt University. He was a novelist, dramatist, essayist, and professor of literature. As a member of the Agrarians, he contributed a chapter to that group's manifesto, I'll take my stand. He taught at the University of the South and edited the Sewanee review. Among his greatest works are Bedford Forrest and his Critter Company, a biography of Nathan Bedford Forrest; The velvet horn, a novel; and A wake for the living. The last surviving Agrarian, he lived his last twenty years in a cabin on the grounds of the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly in Monteagle, Tennessee.
