- "In 1932, Theodore Dreiser and Hy Kraft traveled to Kentucky to investigate an important and dramatic episode of American history which had never fully been treated in fiction, the Tobacco Wars of the turn of this century. The results were some twenty pages of notes on the tobacco industry between 1860 and 1910 and a preliminary script for a motion picture. Dreiser never made further use of this material. Recently, after reading these notes, Borden Deal wrote 'The Tobacco Men,' a new, entirely original work of fiction."--Publisher's Note.
