Chicken That Won a Dogfight: The Humor and Hope of an Arkansas Boyhood

Burton came to Hot Springs H.S. to coach football when former Pres. Bill Clinton was a senior there. Burton's roots are in SW Arkansas, only 40 miles from Clinton's at Hope, AR. Burton recalls with originality and humor his late depression-day childhood in a section of our country where, then and now, family values are firm, and hope endures. His family was poor. But as he remembers the days of his youth, imagination, play, and family tenderness filled his world. Now Burton speaks to audiences around the country, sharing his stories, songs, and homespun philosophy. This book falls somewhere between the work of Garrison Keillor and Robert Fulghum.
