From the publisher of a later printing: "A timeless classic (San Antonio Express-News) about a black man who spent seventeen years on a brutal Texas prison plantation and underwent a remarkable transformation. [He was pardoned in 1976]. First published in 1984, Racehoss: Big Emma's Boy is Albert Race Sample's unforgettable (The Dallas Morning News) tale of resilience, revelation, and redemption. Born in 1930, the mixed-race son of a hard-drinking black prostitute and a white cotton broker, Sample was raised in the Jim Crow South by an abusive mother who refused to let her son -- who could pass for white -- call her Mama. He watched for the police while she worked, whether as a prostitute, bootlegger, or running the best dice game in town. He loved his mother deeply but could no longer take her abuse and ran away from home at the age of twelve. In his early twenties, Sample was arrested for burglary, robbery, and robbery by assault and was sentenced to nearly twenty years in the Texas prison system in the 1950s and 60s. His light complexion made him stand out in the all-black prison plantation known as the burnin' hell, where he and over four hundred prisoners picked cotton and worked the land while white shotgun-carrying guards followed on horseback. Sample earned the moniker Racehoss for his ability to hoe cotton faster than anyone else in his squad. A profound spiritual awakening in solitary confinement was a decisive moment for him, and he became determined to turn his life around. When he was finally released in 1972, he did just that. Though Sample was incarcerated in the twentieth century, his memoir reads like it came from the nineteenth. As remarkable as Richard Wright's autobiography Black Boy.These stories are worthy of Twain, Faulkner, and Lardner (Chicago Tribune). An outcast's eloquent testament to life (Pulitzer Prizewinning author, Studs Terkel).". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Race Sample. First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Very Good condition/Very Good dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. viii, 320pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
