Root doctor
|
Stephen Robinson (born Stephany (or Stepheney or Stephaney) Robinson; 1885 – May 5, 1947) was an American root doctor. He came to prominence after his association with Minerva, one of the main characters in John Berendt's 1994 true-crime book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Valerie Boles, of Gullah tongue, was the inspiration for Minerva in the book, and was portrayed by Irma P. Hall in Clint Eastwood's 1997 film adaptation. Boles's husband, Percy Washington, was a root doctor known as Dr. Eagle, who was renamed "Dr. Buzzard" in the film adaptation of the story. Dr. Buzzard was based on Robinson.
