Reviews
"Best known as Cooter, the good ol' boy mechanic onThe Dukes of Hazzard…. [Jones] engagingly zips through his destitute boyhood in the segregated South and his days as an alcoholic civil rights activist [and] recounts his transformation from boozin', brawlin' womanizer to successful actor to two-term Democratic congressman from Georgia." -Entertainment Weekly "Growing up in Georgia, 'Cooter' was one of my heroes. I'm not sure, but I think it was required by law. Who would have thought that one day I would actually come to know Ben Jones, and, in knowing him, find that he remains one of my heroes. You'll understand why when you read this book. Ben Jones is nothing less than a great American." -Jeff Foxworthy, author ofJeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary "Ben Jones and I go way back, before anyone called him "Cooter" or "Congressman". He always told the truth. A little on the slant, maybe, which only made it more interesting. And like the wildboy I knew then, his book,Redneck Boy in the Promised Land, is gutsy, funny, and good-hearted. And definitely reader-friendly." -Russell Banks, author ofThe Reserve "A warm, witty portrait of a quietly extraordinary American life." -Kirkus, "Growing up in Georgia, 'Cooter' was one of my heroes.

Synopsis
Jones--Cooter from television's "The Dukes of Hazzard" and former U.S. congressman from Georgia--shares the inspiring story of his improbable rise to fame., "Redneck Boy in the Promised Land" is Ben Jones s hilarious, uplifting life story of escaping the rail yards and finding success in the unlikeliest places. As a child, Jones called a dingy railroad shack with no electricity or indoor plumbing home. 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. Written with naked honesty and wry humor, Redneck Boy in the Promised Land is one good ol boy s remarkable tale of falling flat on his face, picking himself up, and finding his way to the American dream-while fighting for civil rights, the plight of the working class, "real" Southern culture, and the rights of rednecks everywhere.", Redneck Boy in the Promised Land is Ben Jones's hilarious, uplifting life story of escaping the rail yards and finding success in the unlikeliest places.
