Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays addresses humor and pathos in the Cotton Country of northern Alabama and Tennessee in the 1950s and ’60s. After World War II, the G.I. Bill and the emergence of the new South brought Darnell’s Depression-era parents from the soil to the boardrooms and strip malls. From holidays, to classrooms, to fields, these children of the Greatest Generation flourished in an evolving culture that arose to change the face of Dixie forever.
