Stanley Grier Bonner was truly a
man of the old South. Born in 1937, he spent most of his life in rural Wilcox
County in the Black Belt of south Alabama. This was the setting for the
majority of the stories he recorded in Houses and Homes. His purpose in
writing this book was to give a glimpse to his children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren of life in the South of his boyhood. For a large part of
his adult life he farmed land that had been in his family for generations.
his writing reveals his upbringing in a family grounded in strong Christian
faith. His spiritual roots were, indeed, deep and lasting. For many years he
was a dedicated member of the Alabama Army National Guard and retired from
the US Army Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel.
