WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT! WHAT A MAN! I feel fortunate in having the chance to cover him for the decade before his death. He was one of a kind.

-Steve Barnes, AETN, December 30, 2011

A compelling biography of a Southern conservative Democrat who overcame multiple tragedies in his personal life to become one of the most powerful Senators during his time. He confronted comparable issues facing the country today, such as deficit spending, labor union corruption, and the mafia, and rendered commonsense solutions by asserting a deep-rooted principle to do the right thing. This well-written book presents a fascinating glimpse into McClellan’s personal life, political contests, and professional career.

FROM THE BACK COVER;

‘This narrative has captured the very essence of my father’s being. His deep-rooted faith, strong convictions, and compassionate heart are underlying themes throughout the book. The author presents the investigative and legislative processes of Congress while disclosing a close association with the Kennedy family and working relationships with others of interest. His productive labors continue to have an impact on our society today.’

-Mary Alice McClellan McDermott, daughter of John McClellan

‘[Laymon’s] work has expanded and made more complete my understanding of the motivations and behavioral patterns that made [McClellan] unique. Readers will obtain a picture of the power to achieve of a determined, dedicated, and principled US Senator.

-Emon A. Mahony, Jr

Legislative assistant to Senator McClellan

PFEIFFER COUNTRY

Pfeiffer Country is a non-fiction examination of a southern Twentieth Century tenant farming operation in which the farmers actually prospered. Contrary to most tenant farm operators in the Mississippi Delta, Paul Pfeiffer--Ernest Hemingway's father-in-law, ran a profitable tenant system during the most trying years of the Depression. Laymon's research and interviews with former Pfeiffer tenants provide many rich and refreshing details about a successful counter-model farming operation that greatlycontrasted similar systems in the Mississippi Delta.
