Biographical / Historical
Nationally famous and internationally known and translated, poet-novelist Jesse Stuart is an American legend. His many honors and awards include nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Out of the half-hundred books he has authored, three books alone: Man with a bull-tongue plow, The thread that runs true, and Taps for Private Tussie would have brought him lasting fame.
