Synopsis
It is 1951. Young Jake Conner gets on a bus to visit his cousins in the Mississippi Delta. But when the body of an unknown man is found in the Mississippi River, Jakes summer vacation gets a little more adventurous as he and his cousins snoop around in a mystery that is better left to the grown-ups. "Jake Conner, protagonist and narrator of this coming of age novel, reminds me of Mattie in True Grit and Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird. Sharp eyes tempered with childhood simplicity." Delta Magazine "First time novelist, Paul H. Yarbrough, masterfully transports readers deep into the world of Mississippi Cotton, where life is not as simple as it seems." Julie Cantrell, editor, Southern Literary Review; author, Into the Free "Paul H. Yarbrough has painted wonderful images with his words. His writing brings back so many memories. Even if you didnt grow up in Mississippi, you will enjoy Mississippi Cotton." Mary Ann Mobley Collins Former Miss America, Miss Mississippi, It is 1951. Young Jake Conner gets on a bus to visit his cousins in the Mississippi Delta. But when the body of an unknown man is found in the Mississippi River, Jake's summer vacation gets a little more adventurous as he and his cousins snoop around in a mystery that is better left to the grown ups.

    Top quality seller, communication & item! The book arrived extremely quickly in a well packaged & stuffed box to prevent movement. The book itself was also wrapped in paper inside the box as an extra measure to help it arrive in best condition & prevent damage. The item fits the description perfectly (actually was better than anticipated). Seller provided the best communication & attention to detail that I’ve ever experienced while making an EBay purchase. Highly recommend & trustworthy.

    Thank you so much! I am so happy to that you are pleased with your purchase and my service. I'm thrilled that it has found a new home with someone who appreciates it. I feel sometimes like I'm saving these lesser known books and hoping somewhere in the wide world the person who is meant to have them will find them. You've been a great customer and I'm so happy you have this book :).

    Rebecca Jo, The 1963 magazine "Locust Special" was received exactly as described and packaged well too. This item is from my collegiate alma mater, now East Texas A&M University in Commerce, Texas, approximately fifty miles northeast of the Dallas area. I will be donating this item to the Department of Special Collections and University Archives to strengthen the University's historical record. I enrolled at the University in September 1965, two years after this magazine was issued on campus
