Ned Cobb (also known as Nate Shaw(1885-1973), was an African American tenant farmer born in Tallapoosa County in Alabama. He joined the Sharecroppers' Union (SCU) in 1931, which was founded the same year. At the age of nine Nate was picking cotton for thirty five cents an hour. At the age of forty seven, he faced down a crowd of white deputies who had come to confiscate a neighbour's crop. His defiance cost him twelve years in prison. This triumphant autobiography, assembled from the eighty four year old Shaw's oral reminiscences, is the plain spoken story of an 'over average' man who witnessed wrenching changes in the lives of Southern black people and whose unassuming courage helped bring those changes about. In 1969, historian and journalist Theodore Rosengarten (b.1944), came to Alabama to search for and interview surviving members of the Sharecroppers Union. When Rosengarten sat down to interview Cobb for this purpose, Cobb's memories began to pour out. The resulting book stands as a larger history of the life of a black tenant farmer raising cotton in Jim Crow Alabama. It was later adapted and produced as a one man play starring Cleavon Little at the Lamb's Theater in New York City. A very scarce book. Jacket design by Lidia Ferrara (illustrator).…
