However, the focus of storySouth is on Southern literature, while many of the stories I wish to highlight are science fiction and fantasy.
To avoid blowing the minds of readers who came looking for Southern Gothic or the next William Faulkner and instead found my recommendation for Ted Chiang's "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," from now on I'll make all my SF/F story picks here.
Like Ted Chiang's tale, today's story of the week is also from the magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, specifically the December 2007 issue.

 Arkansas Symbols, State Historical Song - SHG Resources
In the face of these difficulties it is no easy matter to learn more than that Colonel Sanford C. Faulkner (born in Scott County, Kentucky, March 3, 1803; died in Little Rock, August 4, 1874) was the originator of the story, its hero, and in fact the Arkansas Traveler himself.
Benham is sure that it was not composed by Colonel Faulkner, and has heard, perhaps to the surprise of musical antiquaries, that it was either written by José Tasso, a famous violin-player who died in Kentucky some years ago, or produced by him from an old Italian melody.
Whether he could equal Faulkner at the dialogue or not, he seems to have brought down the house with the tune in a way to outdo all competitors; and one anecdote after another connects him with it in the days of the glory pf Mississippi steamboats and when Colt's revolvers first came down the river.
