"As Told To" autobiography of Haywood Patterson, one of the nine defendants in the Scottsboro case. Patterson served 12 years of a life sentence before escaping to New York in 1945. A thorough account of the "crime" (of which the Nine were clearly innocent) and its aftermath, but the book is best for its descriptions of Alabama prison and chain-gang life in the thirties. Patterson's co-author, Earl Conrad, was a white leftist, loosely affiliated with the C.P., and the author a number of African American biographies, all with a Marxist slant. He was drummed out of Party circles after his 1952 novel Rock Bottom was criticized for portraying inner-city Blacks as "degraded" characters. An uncommonly fresh copy. SEIDMAN P49. SUVAK 248.
