With little thought of consequence in the explosive year 1968, troubled young Arkansas farmhand Cotton Mathis joins the National Guard to avoid serving in the Vietnam War. Sixty miles away, Martin Luther King Jr. faces off against a Memphis mayor. Deployed to Memphis for riot control, Cotton and his friends sense only excitement with no understanding for the racial tensions raging across the nation. For Cotton crossing the Mississippi River into Memphis on a troop bus will be a journey of self-discovery and the peeling away of layers of family loss. Once in the city, Cotton encounters a black war hero and the soldier's remarkable, book-loving father--a man who reignites Cotton's long-buried dreams. Yet these new friends harbor secrets about Cotton's family, including the true story of his brother's death. Faced with personal tragedy, betrayal, and overwhelming anger while all around him Memphis reacts to the news Dr. King has been assassinated, Cotton makes a life-changing decision. Will he forgive and become a man, or will he allow his family's ghosts to haunt him forever?A coming-of-age story set against the civil rights movement, Cotton Mathis offers a glimpse into a little-known aspect of the era--the resilience and compassion of the Memphis community.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
