Abstract | Ms. Elnora Clark-Stewart grew up in Sallis, MS on a tenant farm where she refused to learn to plow and ran away the moment she could pay for a train. She returned to Sallis eventually, and purchased land among the land her family owns and continues to work. After a couple of bouts with gardening and raising cattle, she is resigned to the fact that farming is simply not for her, despite the fact that it is her way of life. |
