"One of the largest cotton planters in the United States, Oscar G. Johnston of Mississippi (1880-1955) became King Cotton's most effective advocate during the New Deal era. Nelson explores Johnston's long career and the critical role he played in shaping public policy toward a vital but depressed industry". -- Jacket.
