    I was so fascinated reading about Blue!!!! The way the writer paid close attention to detail, the suffering these beautiful people had to endure, and how it was so important to the elders for their stories to live on thru their children. A MUST READ . I learned so much about these precious people that I have a new understanding of their culture. I loved the Christian story that is delicately woven into it.

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.
