| General Note: | "In August 1960, a little girl was brutally murdered in a Dexter, Oregon bean field. The killer was never found. This murder-mystery novel "A Homeless Man's Burden" by Wesley Murphey is a fast-moving, present-day story taken from the actual murder that occurred during the hey day of pole bean growers all over the Northwest. Murphey, a Dexter kid himself, picked for many years in the actual field where the girl was murdered, and as a teenager he worked for the girl's father."--Amazon. |
