The character of Luther Driggers was based on real-life long Savannahian Moe Fetzer, and was in fact a chemist employed by the federal government. He was poorly portrayed in the book, as he was not an eccentric at all. He never had a bottle of poison that could wipe out the population (he claimed he could have being a chemist), and the fly on a string was a one time incident at a party. He died hating the way he was portrayed by Geoffrey Lewis.
