Storm Splitter Hilliard Lawrence Lackey

Storm Splitter is a sharecropper tale about splitting a storm, that gives first hand written accounts, stories, diaries, and other recollections of Delta life by ordinary people. The story line is simple but graphic descriptions reflecting time and place are invaluable. As this Storm Splitter story unfolds, the reader gets an unusual look at the plight 1957 sharecroppers forced into service as day labor cotton choppers by the Soil Bank Act of 1956. No longer allowed to have their own half -share crops, tenant farmers, became day laborers.
