The Cabin in the Cotton

They said this book was "throbbing, vital, absorbing." (N.Y. American) You'll say the same thing about the picture!

Sharecropper's son Marvin tries to help his community overcome poverty and ignorance. While working in the general store he learns that the owner has been cheating his tenants. He is in love with owner's daughter, Madge, but sides with the tenants in his threat to expose the planters and their cheating.
