"Two events in particular that had a lasting effect on the life of David Frost, Jr.: 'Watching my parents make moonshine in our back yard in a wash pot,' he says, 'and listening to my parents tell the story of how the Peterson boy was lynched here in Eufaula. My parents would tell it like it had just happened.' . [Frost] was a witness to both the dramatic racial violence and the heroic struggles of the civil rights movement.

Edited and with a preface by Louise Westling. Introduction by Charles Reagan Wilson. xxv, 110 pp. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers (a new copy).…
