Presents the study of the cattle tick eradication program in the United States that offers a fresh perspective on the fate of the yeomanry in the twentieth-century South during a period when state and federal governments were both increasing and centralizing their authority.

In the American imagination, the South is a place both sexually open and closed, outwardly chaste and inwardly sultry. This book demonstrates that there is no central theme that encompasses sex in the US South, but rather a rich variety of manifestations and embodiments influenced by race, gender, history, and social and political forces.
