Means is a collection of humorous and anecdotal stories likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the lives of African American characters in a Southern setting, focusing particularly on the misadventures of young boys, including a curious and mischievous white boy named Orren Randolph Gaitskill, often referred to as Org, and his black friend Little Bit. It appears to explore themes of race, childhood innocence, and humor against the backdrop of societal norms of the time. The opening of the book introduces Org, who has just moved to a place called Tickfall, and his relationship with his sister, Miss Virginia Gaitskill. It establishes Org's playful nature and his interactions with Little Bit, a black boy whose distinct appearance and character become a source of fascination for Org. The boys’ antics, such as their adventures at the Cooley bayou and their innocent discoveries about each other, set the stage for a story rich in humor and social commentary. Additionally, the book hints at a broader exploration of racial dynamics through the context of their friendship, capturing the essence of childhood and the complexities within their society.
