    Eugene Scruggs

    Eugene Scruggs is professor emeritus at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. Since retiring from teaching and administration, Scruggs has authored several books, among them The View from Brindley Mountain: A Memoir of the Rural South. That study depicts the life of a young lad who dreams of a wider world beyond the hard-scrabble farm where he is raised. The present work traces the slow and sometimes arduous path to that larger and diverse world he could scarcely imagine.
