A detailed Summary of Where The Red Fern Grows


"I was walking along whistling when I heard the dogfight", Billy starts the story. He rescued an old

redbone hound dog and took it home. This brought memories back to his mind. It all happened

This is a story about friendship between two coon hounds and a boy named Billy Colman. Billy

is ten years old and lives in the Ozark Mountains. He had long straw-colored hair that was shaggy.

He wore patched and faded coveralls. Billy did not wear shoes during the summer. He was a good

boy and worked hard to help his mother and father. His family lived in a farm on a Cherokee land

because his mother was part Cherokee Indian. Billy's mother taught Billy reading, writing and

arithmetics. They lived in a log house near the Illinois river. Billy loved the nature and roamed the

hill and river bottoms. He knew every game trail and every animal track. He was most fascinated

by the tracks of a river coon. "I was a hunter from the time I could walk", he tells. He hunted

lizards, rats, frogs and other animals. He wanted to have dogs but his mom and dad did not have

the money. A pair of coon hound would cost $ 75. Billy's father bought him three small steel traps.


like Ewell's in the Mockingbird. They were thieves, bootleggers and just all-round no-goods. Rubin

darted to kill Billy's hounds. Rubin fell and the ax entered his stomach. He died. Billy laid flowers

that. Billy won the gold cup and the money. He gave cups to his sisters and the money to his mother.
