What sacrifices were made so that he could support his family? Follow him from Baptist Training Union (BTU) in Birmingham, Alabama to the coal mines of Harlan, Kentucky and ultimately to the big city of Detroit. Get a glimpse of the courtship and marriage to his devoted wife, Lucile. Learn the details surrounding the naming of their first child to the birth of their eighth daughter and thirteenth child. Get a historical perspective of the socio-economical state in the 1900s? What events coincided with Johnson's arrival to Detroit in 1938? The answers to these questions and much more in told in The Journey of a Country Boy: The Life and Times of Johnson Peoples.
