CANTON – Author Bob Cowser Jr. will be at St. Lawrence University’s Brewer Bookstore Saturday, Nov. 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. to sign “Green Fields: Crime, Punishment, and A Boyhood Between,” a true crime memoir.
The St. Lawrence University Professor of English wrote the true-crime memoir about a gruesome child murder that occurred in his childhood in his hometown.
When he was nine years old, growing up in Martin, Tenn., his community was shaken by the disappearance of eight-year-old Cary Medlin, who had been his first-grade classmate. She was murdered, and the man convicted of the crime became the first person in 40 years to be executed in the state of Tennessee.
