"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.
