This is a full-bodied and living picture of the land that sprawls widely from the Potomac to the Rio Grande--a land of religious bigotry, ignorance, and stubborn fundamentalism, cape jessamine and moonlight, 'possum hunts and demagogues, local opinion and local cawn." It is the land that produced Huey Long, The Man Bilbo, and the Heflin thunder concerning "white supremacy" in a section where the poor white is a major problem."
