Deep South 1906. A young lawyer from Washington is sent to investigate reports of lynchings down south. It is an interesting book in showing the attitudes prevalent at the time and well into the rest of the 20th century in parts of the South towards blacks and how cheap their lives were.
A touching book which looks on at the helplesness of the situation.
