Second edition (not stated but identified on dj spine as "Commemorative Issue Limited Edition) INSCRIBED, SIGNED, AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR. [6], 134 pages. Hardcover: H 23.5cm x L 15.75cm. Dust jacket front panel illustrated with b/w photos of Ross Barnett Reservoir at top half and bottom half photo of Barnett at podium of Neshoba County Fair; rear panel b/w photo of Barnett at Senator Eastland's February 1986 funeral taken by Sid Salter. Dj rubbed and lightly foxed. Blue cloth, vibrant gilt stamped lettering to spine and front board. Light foxing to edges and endpapers; past owner's name/address ink stamp on front pastedown. Author's four-line ink inscription at top of title page: "To M.B. Cooper | A Longtime Friend | Erle Johnston | July 9/1992." Interior pages are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. A very good copy in a very good+ dust jacket. With Preface, four unpaged leaves of b/w illustrations, and Acknowledgements. Sympathetic biography of Ross Barnett, governor of Mississippi from 1960-1964, focusing upon his political campaigns and administration. An ardent segregationist, Barnett's political reign was noted by his fervent arguments regarding states' rights, his opposition to the integration of the University of Mississippi at Oxford - Ole Miss - via the enrollment of James Meredith, and the ensuing riots which still haunt the placid college town. Author Erle Johnston served as publicity manager for Ross Barnett's 1955 and 1959 gubernatorial campaigns and was appointed Public Relations Director for the State Sovereignty Commission from 1960-1963 and as commission director from 1963-1968. The notorious State Sovereignty Commission overtly colluded with the Citizens' Councils and allegedly cooperated with the Ku Klux Klan in hindering Justice Department investigations and repressing the activities of civil rights and voter registration organizations throughout the state. Although the book's copyright page utilizes the same 1980 date of the first edition this second edition (apparently the only difference from its progenitor being the dj) was apparently issued circa 1990 in commemoration of Ross Barnett's 1987 passing and there is no elaboration upon the "limited edition" claim. {MS Shelf #5} ISBN 0865180172.…
