TROTTING SALLY The Roots and Legacy of a Folk Hero

John Thomas Fowler tells two tales: the story of Trotting Sally, a once familiar street musician to residents of the upcountry of South Carolina and western North Carolina; and the real man few knew. George Mullins, who lifted himself out of slavery and built a new life, brick by brick. Fowler fleshes out the public figure and reveals the private man behind one of the Carolinas' most famous and elusive turn-of-the-century African Americans.
