The Juke Joint King of the Mississippi Hills: the Raucous Reign of Tillman Branch (True Crime)

Tillman Branch was the youngest child born into a large Attala County, Mississippi family, a family that owned land and was prosperous and well-respected in the community. Like all parents, E. T. and Nettie Branch had great expectations for their youngest son. But tragedy struck the family when Tillman's father died and Nettie was left to raise her young children alone. No one will ever know for certain if Tillman's attitudes and adult behavior resulted from his growing up without a father. Nor does anyone know the true impact living in a small Mississippi town where old values, often at odds with real life, had on Tillman's ascent to adulthood. But one thing is certain -- Tillman liked to live dangerously. He liked to drive fast and play hard, and he was scared of nothing. Although he married more than once and eventually became the father of seven children, Tillman's true love was the excitement he experienced as a bootlegger and juke joint owner. With his reputation as a tough guy who carried a gun and knew how to use it, Tillman became a household name in Attala and Holmes Counties. The Juke Joint King of the Mississippi Hills: The Raucous Reign of Tillman Branch tells the true story of a man who was loved by his family, respected by some, and feared by many.
