Hogs, Mules, and Yellow Dogs: Growing Up on a Mississippi Subsistence Farm
'It's in the nature of things that whole worlds disappear,' writes the poet Robert Hass in the foreword to Jimmye Hillman's insightful memoir. 'Their vanishings, more often than not, go unrecorded or pass into myth.' To ensure that the world of Jimmye Hillman's childhood in Greene County, Mississippi during the Great Depression doesn't slip away, he has gathered together accounts of his family and the other people of Old Washington village.
