This obscure, self-published book about growing up in Rutherford County, North Carolina, at the turn-of-the-century, is very funny -- and I have re-read it several times. I especially like the story about a fellow -- I believe his name was Jem -- who was administered an enema by Washburn and some of his co-workers. Tony Early borrowed Washburn's title for his own book published a few years ago and also set in Rutherford County. I highly recommend Jim, the Boy to anyone with connections to or an interest in this place.

I'll add that Jim and his wife Tootsie lived for many years in Lake Lure, North Carolina, in an ancient inn known as the Harris Tavern. But he grew up at a place called Cleghorn.
