Beard hailed it as literature more powerful than anything I have read in fiction, not excluding Zola's most vehement passages. A very early experiment in the publication of oral history, it consisted of thirty-five life histories of sharecroppers, farmers, mill workers, townspeople, and the unemployed of the Southeast, selected from over …
