Swamp Witch; The Legend of Black Water Hattie George Roland Wills

In the first anthology, The November Country, we were introduced to Black Water Hattie in the story, The Legend of Black Water Hattie, in the which we met the ghost of a witch in modern times. ____ She was haunting an upscale gated apartment complex called THE BLACKWATER near to the mythical town of Blackwater, Florida; the 'sleepy little Okeechobee town' mentioned in the Jim Stafford song, Swamp Witch. _____ In this book, we again meet Black Water Hattie, only this time, she is back when she actually lived during the era of the Civil War. It is during Yankee Reconstruction that we find her now living as a widow deep in the swamps of Florida in the tale, Swamp Witch. ____ This is the actual story to which we alluded in the first anthology. ____ The Legend of Black Water Hattie is then also reprinted here, to complete the two stories about Black Water Hattie. ____ This then explains the title SWAMP WITCH; THE LEGEND OF BLACK WATER HATTIE, _____ This stand-alone version of that story has both the story from The November Country and the one from South of Margaritaville, combined into one story. ____ The anthology, South of Margaritaville, is the second collection of stories by George Roland Wills.
