Looking back at 'Old Yeller' and Texas author Fred Gipson. By Cynthia Pickens. I vividly remember reading Old Yeller by Fred Gipson as a 10- or 12-year-old. Gipson’s descriptions of killer javelinas and wild hogs instilled a fear that has never subsided. The thought of rabid animals veering through my yard sent shivers up my spine.
