In the swamps and juke joints of Holmes County, Mississippi, Edward
Tillman Branch built his empire. Tillman's clubs were legendary.
Moonshine flowed as patrons enjoyed craps games and well-know blues
acts. Across from his Goodman establishment, prostitutes in a
trysting trailer entertained men, including the married Tillman
himself. A threat to law enforcement and anyone who crossed his
path, Branch rose from modest beginnings to become the ruler of a
treacherous kingdom in the hills that became his own end. Author
Janice Branch Tracy reveals the man behind the story and the path
that led him to become what Honeyboy Edwards referred to in his
autobiography as the "baddest white man in Mississippi."
