Author
Robert Hitt Neill was raised on a Mississippi Delta plantation, was an honor student and all-state football player at Leland High then played at Ole Miss on national championship teams. There he met Betsy, a top-six beauty at a college famous for its beautiful coeds. It was love at first sight! They wed after his graduation and commissioning as a Navy Officer, and after he survived a combat tour during Vietnam, they settled on Brownspur Plantation, where he farmed but enjoyed being a closet writer for 20 years.
His first book, “The Flaming Turkey,” was a small press bestseller, and its sequel, “Going Home,” was the #2 Outdoor Book in the country. His third, all in the same year, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Neill rented out his land and became a writer.
“The Book of Betsy” is his 14th title. Another of his humor/nostalgia works, “The Jakes,” was also nominated for the Pulitzer, as was a newspaper series. He wrote a weekly syndicated column for 25 years, as well as thousands of magazine articles, and was listed nationally as a storyteller until a broken back curtailed his traveling.
