Raintree County - Ross Lockridge Jr 1948 Hardcover w/Dust Jacket BOTM Club. By Ross Lockridge, Jr. Raintree County is an epic novel of heroic proportions. Raintree County By Ross Lockridge, Jr. Raintree County is an epic novel of heroic proportions. John Wickliff Shawnessy, its hero, is the epitome of the place and period in which he lived, nineteenth-century America, a rural land of vernal women, of farmers, gamblers, wanderers, soldiers, orators, poets, and simple scholars. Here on the banks of the Shawmucky River, which wove its primitive course through Raintree County in Indiana, in the heart of America, young Johnny Shawnessy studied the classics — Homer and Virgil — in languages which had ceased to be the speech of living men, but which had once been, like Johnny's American language, the expression of freedom — the birth-cry of new-born republics. And here, too, in Raintree County were a young republic, shining waters, and much sunshine, and a young worshiper of the earth.
