Education of Little Tree

[Judie Porter <JUDIEPR@DSL.RHILINET.GOV>]

The controversy about Little Tree came about after his death, when it
was learned he lied about his name and the book being a biography.  His
name was Asa Carter and he was a white racist.  New York Times, Time
and Newsweek all carried articles about this in 1991.  I have Publishers
Weekly, Oct. 25, 1991, Page 16, which gives a good background on the
controversy.  Also see Newsweek, October 14, 1991, Page 62.  I'm not
sure about the other two, but near that time.  Judie Porter, Portsmouth
