Title: Example of the failure of the "Great Society"
Review: A book about a lesser known aspect of the failure of Johnson's "Great Society", "Stinking Creek" fairly describes the tug of war between a government that tries to "help" and an independent and sometimes proud culture that doesn't really want it. The book is filled with real people whose personalities are more richly and fully described than in any Dickens or Jakes novel. Although dated, the book portrays the bridge between the Roosevelt relief attempts and current welfare programs. Very readable.
