The Tobacco Association and Folk Remedies

i realized if i wanted to represent the stuff accurately, i should go back at least two generations. Because my great grandfather was a tobacco share harper. He was illiterate, he was pentecostal. So i started doing research, because i'm really more of an academic in a lot of ways. I looked at dorothya, laying photos of tobacco share crappers and how they worked. Then i would look up nineteenth century books about local kentucky folk remedies and medicine. The stories you could tell were only maybe blake 75 ret true, and had been so deeply embroidered by tradition that it was very funny. But all so horrifying.
