Erskine Preston Caldwell (December 17, 1903 - April 11, 1987) was an American author. His writings about poverty, racism and social problems in his native South in novels such as Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre won him critical acclaim, but also made him controversial among fellow Southerners of the time who felt he was deprecating the people of the region.
“Born in Moreland as a son of a minister, Erskine Caldwell wrote candidly about the South he knew as a young man during the early 1900s. The house in which he was born, originally a minister's quarters, now rests on the town square and hosts a museum devoted to the author's story. See copies of the 80 works in 40 languages of Caldwell's works along with memorabilia of the writer and his family."- Source: https://morelandadventure.com/museums
