Mack McCormick's False Account of Robert Johnson's Poisoning

Mack McCormick was one of the most dedicated of all white-blue scholars. He made more contributions to the general public's knowledge of Robert Johnson than almost anyone else. His biography, which he'd been working on since the early 1970s, was left unfinished. It was finally published last month by the Smithsonian Institute. But what was published wasn't the complete book as part of it was an effort at step-sister Annie Anderson requesting that her interviews be transferred to the Smithsonian.
