- Summary:
- In "one of the best portrayals of the South in years" ("Washington Post Book World"), Applebome's forays take him to catfish farms and new casinos, to country music festivals, neo-Confederate gatherings, and into the very heart of the controversy over the flying of the Confederate flag, as he separates the myths from the realities.
