James Ross’s only novel was written late in 1939 and published in 1940. He is at present editorial writer for the Greens­boro Daily News,Greensboro, North Carolina. In a statement written for this edition, he notes that the roadhouses have long since disappeared, but “human greed and the evils it generates haven’t.” His aim in writing the novel, he states, “mere­ly was to show it the way it was.”
