Notes


Published as a weekly serial, Sundays 1897-02-07 to -05-09, The Atlanta Constitution and elsewhere. Title varies but "Wildwoods" (one word) not found. Found in LA Times, consistently as Aaron in the Wild Woods: The Story of a Southern Swamp. Not found entirely in Atl Const but presumed complete there, where Harris worked 1876–2000 per Wikipedia. Atlanta and Los Angeles include illustrations by Oliver Herford.

Not simply a collection, perhaps nearly a novel.
