My Heart is in the Earth: True Stories of Alabama and Mexico (Hardcover)
Description
In this collection of articles, many published in the New York Times and other periodicals, veteran journalist Wayne Greenhaw shares his lifelong affection for Alabama and Mexico.
Explore the rough-and-tumble early days of Alabama, when the Creeks killed hundreds of white settlers at Fort Mims, which became the largest massacre in the U.S.
Travel with Greenhaw from Tuscaloosa to San Miguel de Allende in the heart of Mexico, where he meets not only a family rich in Mexican history, but a band of Beatnik poets including Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.
Meet an Alabama-raised architect who re-established the silver industry in Taxco and turned it into an art. Walk with William Spratling through his adopted hometown, where he cavorted with movie stars and politicians.
Greenhaw, with his heart in the earth of both countries, draws a powerful portrait of two dramatic places, both peopled with interesting characters living inimitable lives.
