Tales from a Counry Man
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Reading Cracker's Mule was like listening to my father. It took me to a time when I would sit in Daddy's lap and hear him tell the tales of his childhood. Billy Moore takes the country between Alabama and Florida he and my father both live in and gave it the only voice it could have--an honest one. I am privileged to have had the chance to work alongside Billy Moore, and even happier that he wrote this story. I cannot wait to read Little Brother, Real Snake.
Loved it!

I laughed out loud in several parts...the roaches in the foot washing tub. Cracker's blind mule opened my eyes to a flawed yet wonderful world that I did not want to leave.

My husband and I both enjoyed reading Cracker's Mule. This book reminded my husband of the many hours he spent at the livestock auctions with his uncle. This is a book that can be enjoyed by all ages. Cracker's Mule is a book that kids can read and see how kids back in the fifties enjoyed life without tv, cd's, and video games. This book will have you in stitches. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Hope there will be a Cracker's Mule Two soon. Great job Billy Moore!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading Cracker?s Mule. It reminded me of my summers as a kid growing up in the south during the fifties. This book should be enjoyed by all ages but especially by the youth who will learn how many children of the fifties spent their summers and the grandparents who will enjoy remembering ?the way it was?. Great job Billy Moore! Keep up the good work. Thanks for the memories.
