Synopsis

“This is a record, in retrospect, of course, of what life was like for a Negro family in DuQuoin, Ill., a mining town. Part of the book’s fascination lies in the background material―the mines with their explosions, cave-ins, strikes, and lockouts. The rest of the fascination stems from the character of the father of this family―Braxton Berkley.” New York Herald Tribune Book Review
