{"product_id":"9780875656564","title":"Incident at Ashton","description":"Republished with a foreword by John Tisdale, director of TCU’s School of Journalism, the late Jay Milner’s novel is a riveting portrayal of a scenario that unhappily mirrored real-life incidents throughout the South in the mid-twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Ashton, a fictional town in the deep South, an elderly black man walks into the courthouse one day and makes a simple request. He wants to register to vote. At first the clerk is confused. Never before in the town’s history had a Negro displayed such arrogance. The clerk tries to discourage him, but the old man is adamant. A few days later they pull his body from the river, a gaping wound in his head. Only a few years earlier, this incident would have gone practically unnoticed in Ashton. But that time has passed. Phil Arrow, a young newspaperman, demands a full measure of justice from the people of his town.","brand":"Texas Christian University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119638561008,"sku":"9780875656564","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780875656564_p0.jpg?v=1763848501","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780875656564","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
