Born September 5, 1918 - Burkett McInturff was born and raised on the family farm in Decatur, Tennessee. He was set to plowing corn barefoot, and picking strawberries, at the age of maybe eight years young. Helping his hardworking father on a hundred fifty acres of farmland while all the while getting through school and becoming "educated", little Mac rises from his tenuous roots, poor as Job's Turkey, with more ambition and drive than toiling in the hot sun and making a working man's wages to becoming perhaps the best known Criminal Defense Attorney the state of Tennessee has or will ever produce.
This is a collection of true stories about uncommon people in East Tennessee. Their experiences, joys, and struggles are shared within these pages. Readers will meet innovative pranksters like Bill Greene, Harold Curtis, and Pal Barger; as well as, go deep undercover in moonshine country with Buster Brown. A 93 year old practicing Criminal Defense attorney named Burkett McInturff shares vignettes of his life from early childhood to old age.
