Mississippi Trial 1955

I read a nutmeg book titled Mississippi Trial 1955 by Chris Crowe. It is a touching book set in Greenwood Mississippi through 1947-1955.

The main characters in the story were Hiram Hillburn, Hardin Hillburn, and Emmett Till. Hiram Hillburn is a boy from Arizona coming to visit his grandpa in Mississippi. He is a very caring boy who cares about many people. For example he cares about his grandpa living on his own and he cares about Emmett when he hears that he has been kidnapped. He tries to do anything just to go and see his grandpa in Mississippi. His grandpa's name is Hardin Hillburn he is a member of a group of people who decides weather to have segregation in schools or not and other kinds of things like that. He is on the older side so Hiram has to do the try to do the best to take care for him. Also Emmett Till is a boy visiting from Chicago to be with some of his family for the summer.

The main part of this book occurs when Emmett Till had been kidnapped from his Uncle's house and later found floating in the Tallahatchie River with scrapes and cuts and even a bullet shot through his head. And Hiram doesn't no what to do leave Mississippi or stay in Mississippi for the trial.

My favorite part of the book was when Hiram's grandma died. This was my favorite part because I felt connected with him because his feelings about it were some of the same feelings I had when my grandpa died.

I really liked this book because it was a story I didn't want to be over. I would definitely recommend this book to people of all different ages because I love books that are touching and can show how some people were and are. Sometimes you might even be able to connect to the book. But I might not recommend this book for people who get very sensitive about murdering and other problems like that.

I read a fantastic book called Mississippi Trial, 1955 by Chris Crowe. It is a historical fiction book set in the 1950's in Greenwood, Mississippi.

The main characters in the story were Hiram Hillburn, Harlan Hillburn, Mr. Hillburn, Mrs. Hillburn, J.W. Milam, Roy Bryant, Sheriff George W. Smith, R.C. Rydell, Ruthane, and Naomi Rydell Emmett Till. The book is about a boy Hiram who used to live with his grandfather until his grandmother died. Then his parents wanted to move to Arizona, but Hiram didn't want to. He came back to Mississippi when he was 16 and met a kid named Emmett Till who would change his life.

The main problem of the book occurs when Emmett Till said and did some foolish things. Later he got kidnapped and murdered. Who did it?

My favorite part of the book was when they went to the trial in the court house. This is my favorite part because it gave me a lot of details who and who did not commit the murder.

I really like this book because it showed how they treated black people back then. It gives more information about how they treated them badly
I would not recommend it to 5th graders or younger kids because it has things that were tragic and had bad things in it like some swears. But older kids and grown-ups would like the book.

I read a nutmeg book called Mississippi Trial, 1955 by Chris Crow. It is a great book set in Mississippi during segregation times, in 1955.
The main characters in this story were Hiram Hillburn, his Grandpa, Emmett Till, RC Rydal, and Naomi Rydal. Hiram is the main character. He tells about his experiences in Mississippi during the trial that helped spark the civil rights movement. RC was the one Hiram was suspicious about being the third man in the murder. Hiram's Grandpa went through some tough times, and eventually got grumpy. Emmett Till was the victim of this crime. He was found dead in a lake on September 2, 1955. Naomi Rydal was RC's little sister. Her Mother died when she was little. Her father was left to take care of her, he eventually became an alcoholic so he mistreated her a lot by hurting her.
The main problem of the book occurs when Emmett was found in the river with an old cotton gin pulley and barbwire around his neck.
My favorite part was when RC was talking about Hiram's Grandpas neighbors when they were dancing together in there underwear (they are brothers). This was my favorite part because it was funny and you wouldn't expect it in a historical fiction book.
I really liked this book because it was entertaining and slightly graphic. I would recommend this to any one 10 or older because there are graphic parts and it might be hard to understand if you are not old enough. I give this book 5 stars.

I read a fabulous book titled Mississippi Trial, 1955. It is a historical-fiction book set in the year 1955, in Greenwood, Mississippi.
The main characters in this story were, Hiram Hillburn, Emmett Till, R.C Rydell, and Grandpa Hillburn. Hiram stays at his grandfather's house for the summer while he visits. Emmett Till, a black boy from Chicago, is visiting his family. He becomes good friends with Hiram. In the story, something happens to Emmett, and Hiram is determined to find out who did it.
The main problem of the book occurs when Emmett Till disappears. Everybody searches for him until they find a body in the Tallahatchie River, but is it his?
My favorite part of the book was when Hiram finally understands why his dad was always so sensitive about the way people act about African-Americans down in Mississippi. This was my favorite part because Hiram knows what his dad was always fussing about when they ever talked about Mississippi.
I really loved this book because it taught people a lesson on how people act. I would recommend this book to a person that likes historical-fiction books because it tells a lot about life in 1955 and how things worked in the south. I wouldn't recommend it to people who definitely do not agree with the way people were treated way back then. I would rate this book with 5 stars.
