Raised by an uncle in a hardscrabble Arkansas town, Cottonmouth couldn't leave fast enough. As a young man, he set out to seek his fortune but was soon caught up in a life of low-level misdeeds, taking him from New Orleans all the way to Honduras. Now he's back in Columbia County, mourning his uncle and worrying on what to do with the broken-down outlaw camp that represents the sum of his family legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd legacy is no small matter in a county like his. The townsfolk remember Cottonmouth and his kin, just like they remember everyone who ever put down roots in the area. Folks do like the way the outlaw camp helps out the local economy: so long as criminals undertake their troublemaking across county lines, they're more than welcome to stay and spend some of that money in county establishments. But when Cottonmouth gets embroiled in some ill-conceived ransom plans with a few of those visiting scofflaws, he pushes the boundaries of the community's forgiving nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the unyielding backdrop of the Great Depression and with an unforgettable cast of ornery characters, \u003ci\u003eThe County Line\u003c\/i\u003e is a lyrical and loving celebration of community and opportunity in 1933 America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 301\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42726596804671,"sku":"9781662515262","price":20.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/35d2ea3f3b71840a18ed105b652a9903.webp?v=1765111574","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-county-line-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
