    Lonesome Traveler

    February 25, 2022
    This book is a favorite of mine--I reread it at least once a year, and I wish copies of it weren't so thin on the ground, since I'd dearly love to replace my aging paperback. It's the story of 13-year-old Clement Marlow, known to one and all as Clem, the son of a sheriff's deputy killed in the line of duty and a mother who was sent to a sanitarium in Carrizozo, NM, a couple of years ago with "spots on her lungs." Since then he's been bounced from one relative to another before settling near Conifer, OK, with a cousin of his mother's and her hard-drinking husband. Disturbed by the lack of letters from his only remaining parent, he makes up his mind to go and visit her. He doesn't have money for a bus, so after school closes for the summer he piles his gear in a homemade cart, harnesses his donkey Pedro to it, whistles up his mixbreed dog Duke, and sets off to walk to Carrizozo along the bar-ditches that flank the U.S. highways.

Weldon Hill is the pseudonym of William R. Scott, a native Oklahoman who based the novel on his own World War II service in the Coast Guard.

    Griffith had experienced success earlier in 1958 with his service comedyNo Time for Sergeants, and Onionhead was an attempt to cash in on that success. It was mistakenly marketed as an uproarious comedy, but it is actually a comedy-drama with some dark themes, including theft and adultery. Onionhead was such a notorious flop that it drove Griffith
