JOHN FAULKNER (1901-1963) was a native and lifetime resident of the Mississippi hill country and Delta region. A writer and accomplished, self-taught painter, he also worked, at various times, as an engineer, airplane pilot, World War II naval officer, and farmer. Of the number of books Faulkner wrote, he is best remembered for the novels Men Working and Dollar Cotton, and the memoir My Brother Bill, about William Faulkner.

Remarkable . . . in its sense and simplicity, its justness of observation, the ease with which it hits the nail so frequently squarely on the head, above all for its entirely unobtrusive compassion.
