...Major General George S. Patton Jr., 55, commander of the Second Armored Division at Fort Benning. His rank kept him remote from the men of Company D, 68th Armored Regiment (Light). Yet, to all of them, The Old Man was as near and real as the pine bark on the outer walls of their makeshift mess hall. Like God (they said) he had the damndest way of showing up when things went wrong.

Hardened to sudden shifts, Mississippi "peckerwoods"* have listened for two decades with comparatively straight faces to Senators Byron Patton Harrison and Theodore Gilmore Bilbo, to Paul Burney Johnson and Martin Sennett Conner. In 1935 they began listening to another man, Hugh Lawson White, and elected him Governor, some say, for the novelty of a new political face...
