Redneck boy in the promised land : the confessions of "Crazy Cooter"

Jones, Ben, 1941- (Author).

Summary: An unabashed Southern redneck from a "likker drinkin', hell-raisin'" family, Jones grew up in the depressed railroad docks outside of Portsmouth, Virginia, and spent most of his days dreaming about where the tracks out of town could take him. That he would go on to become a beloved television icon on The Dukes of Hazzard and a firebrand two-term Congressman is a story that no one could have ever seen coming ... least of all ol' "Cooter" himself.--From publisher description.
