Jasper S. Lee grew up on a Mississippi cotton plantation in a genuine southern community that was continuing to heal from the American Civil War. He has college degrees from Mississippi State University and the University of Illinois. He has served as a university professor and department head as well as an editorial consultant with an agricultural textbook publisher, where he was known as a “word-smith.” This is Lee’s fifth family history book, with two of the previous books being “Tinnin” and “Cousin.” As always, much genealogy study went into the preparation of this book as it did in previous books.
