"First published in 1940 as part of the information-gathering effort of the TVA, the work examines Gorgas, Alabama, a predominantly white farming settlement. Hailed as the most intensive case study ever made in the South, the book provides a detailed portrait of southern rural life on the verge of extinction." - Florida Historical Quarterly "One of the finest examples of the genre of the community survey... the book is remarkably free of special pleading. And every chapter is packed with fascinating data and insights. The University of Alabama Press is to be congratulated for reissuing this splendid community study; the volume fits the description of a classic. And Clarence L. Mohr's introduction alone is worth the price of the volume." - Journal of Southwest Georgia History"
