Samuel Arthur Derieux (1881-1922) was an American writer, known especially for short stories, set in the South, about dogs, hunting, or both. He was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1881. His undergraduate education was in the South, at Wofford College from 1897 to '99, and at Richmond College (now the University of Richmond), where he received his BA. in 1904. He spent two years of graduate work at Johns Hopkins, and received his MA. at University of Chicago in 1910. He worked as an assistant professor of English at Richmond (1910-'11), Missouri State Normal School ('11-'13), and Wake Forest ('15-'17). Derieux had already published a few stories, and in 1917 he joined the editorial staff in the New York offices of The American Magazine.
This work covers classic southern fiction - along with lesser-known works - with an eye to the ways that southern writers such as William Elliot, William Gilmore Simms, and William Faulkner depict hunting and outdoorsmanship. It explores the themes of honour, fair play, and noblesse oblige.
