His interest in the fascinating and convoluted history of the state's small towns led to his exploration of the infamous Rawlings-Tarbutton murder of 1925, resulting in this book. A practicing physician, he is the author of five novels set in the rural South. William Rawlings was born, raised, and still lives on the family farm in Sandersville, Georgia.
This is the story of rural Georgia that foreshadowed our own day, our own story.. Five years later he was facing a sentence of life in prison for his role in the alleged murder of his first cousin, Gus Tarbutton. By 1920, he was one of the state s wealthier men, with a loving wife and family, and powerful political connections. The forces that led to this economic whipsaw were multiple, including the loosening of credit and inflation that accompanied and followed World War I, the effective monetization of cotton as a commodity, the competition for labor from the industrialized North, and the bubble in cotton prices that burst in 1920. A KILLING ON RING JAW BLUFF recounts the rise and fall of Georgia s rural population as told through the story of Charles Graves Rawlings. While the rest of the nation recovered rapidly, transitioning to the era of the Roaring Twenties, the rural South remained mired in social and financial despair. His life followed that of cotton-based agriculture after the Civil War and along with it the rise and fall of Georgia's small towns. By then other economic forces were in play, relegating the role of the weevil to that of delivering a final blow to an already moribund economy. Althou
Four Stars Thomas H Robertson An insightful economic study in Southern history and a good crime tale, intertwined. A good read.. "A superb little book of Georgia history!" according to Jeff Jellets. Author William Rawlings’ A Killing on Ring Jaw Bluff is a superb little book of Georgia history, recounting (as the book jacket succinctly states) the rise and fall of Georgia’s rural population through the story of Sandersville cotton farmer, financier, businessmen and later convicted killer, Charles Graves Rawlings. Much like the farm barons of the bygone 1900s and 1920s, Rawlings tills new ground in this book, closely examining how the South’s reliance (bordering on blind devotion) to King Cotton ultimately lead to an unsustainable economy that not only bankrupt both individuals and communities, but ul. "Wonderful socio-economic lesson on the South/good story" according to Frank A. Buskirk. Am only 50 plus pages into A Killing .but am relating to (and enjoying) the excellent story about the dynamics of the Georgia and southern economy like few other books I've ever read. If you and your family are southern you will better understand what our grandparents/parents/relatives went through--be thankful for what we have now. Well written and researched by Rawlings. Have enjoyed all his books, but I believe this will be the best. It should be a high school/college must read for not only history majors, but business majors, agriculture majors, and political science junkies. Bought a second book for an early birthday
