Description: "Born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, Jack Spencer has spent much of his life in the South, and in this book he reveals his gift for capturing the beauty and fecundity of his native land."--BOOK JACKET.

"In his travels taking these photographs, Spencer met many people of various backgrounds - white and black, wealthy and poor, joyful and mournful. What he discovered, he says, and what emerges in his photographs, is that every single life is fascinating. Spencer's talent lies in his ability to recognize and evoke the wondrous tales written across the faces of his subjects."--BOOK JACKET.
