Rick Bragg can't get away from Frogtown, the mill village that grew up around the Jacksonville cotton mill. In The Prince of Frogtown, the last in the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's autobiographical trilogy, Bragg wrote about his father. But he always knew he had to come back and tell the stories of the other people of the mill. Nine stories are collected in his new book, The Most They Ever Had. Bragg will launch the national book tour on Wednesday at Jacksonville State University.
