Miss Minerva and William Green Hill


Miss Minerva



This play is based on the book of the same name which was written in the early 1900's by Frances Boyd Calhoun who lived in Covington, Tennessee where she was a teacher. The books are sort of an early "Little Rascals" of the South - humorous and filled with the innocence of the era. The real life character upon whom these books are based is William Green Hill who died at 64, the son of a prominent Tennessee physician, Dr. Lafayette Hill.
