About This Book
Winner of the Anne B. and James B. McMillan Prize in Southern History.
George B. Ellenberg examines the rich and fascinating story of the central role of the mule in Southern agriculture and life. Better suited to agricultural work than the horse, mules emerged as a cultural icon, so much so the William Faulkner, in his 1929 novel Sartoris, exhorted, "Some Homer of the cotton fields should sing the saga of the mule and of his place in the South."
