Biography:
According to Ratliff, Wilbur Provine "was really a Snopes" - which is another way of casting aspersions on his character. In Wilbur's case, "he ran a still in the creek bottom by a spring about a mile and a half from his house" (177). He gets a five-year sentence for moonshining.
Note:
Probably a relation to the Provine Gang described in "A Bear Hunt." - JBC
