Son Of The South Book

Summary

In this book, "Son Of The South - Walk a mile in my shoes," I have given accounts of some of the harshest elements, circumstances, and lifestyles of growing up and living in the south eastern delta region during the early 1950's and the 1960's. You will read about how one son gave out long before he became a man, but he never gave up. He was a survivor.

It is my intentions to take you back in time on a mental journey to the deep south. I want to give you, the reader, an idea of how life was for those who had to chop and pick cotton, hunt wild game and forage from the wilderness for food to make ends meet. I want to give hope and encouragement to those who feel like giving up. I want them to know that I too once felt that way. However, something within me would not let me quit or give up. That same thing is in all of us, we just have to search within ourselves.

There are many who have grown up in the south, and all have their own individual recollections and stories. For some people, they can relate, for others, they may have doubts. Some may even have objections to the contents herein. However, this is my story as I perceived and lived it. So before you make any conclusive opinions, come and walk a mile in my shoes. Only then may you come to understand this

"Son of the South."
