You Can't Ride This Train - Paperback

by Carol Bolton McCoy (Illustrator), Jane Mitchell (Author)

On New Year's Eve in 1965, three teenagers find skeletal remains in the Alabama woods. Time moves back to 1900 when Lilie Rose Frost travels from a cotton field to a cotton mill and all the way down to New Orleans. She never goes home. You Can't Ride This Train follows the lives of some Alabama poor folks and their maltreatment by The Big Mules and the men who do their dirty work. It's about loss and pain, good times along with bad. When the bones are identified, a killer is found. Old Time Fiddling and New Orleans Blues provide a musical backdrop.
