2715 Tom Watson: Agrarian Rebel, by C. Vann Woodward (read 5 Mar 1995) This is a 1938 biography. Watson was born three miles from Thomson, GA on Sept. 5, 1856, and died Sept 26, 1922, at Chevy Chase, Md. It is a searing and memorable book. Watson's is a fantastic story, and this book tells it surpassingly well. This book is superlative for following Georgia politics during the years Watson affected it. One is totally repelled by Watson after 1904, and not only by his vicious anti-Catholicism but even worse by his role in the Leo Frank case--a case which shows Georgia in the worst possible light. This book is a sheerly interesting book about an awful man. ( )
