Book of Jim Fifth Chapter depicts tribal battles and prophecy
The author known as Uncle Bil, writing as part of the Sterling City News Record, presents the fifth chapter of the Book of Jim. The tale follows the Jimites as they confront rival tribes in Texas with a satirical blend of biblical phrasing, oil anointing, and a prophecy of Alfred’s rise. It recounts battles between Hunter, Alfred, Witt, Small, McDonald and others, ending with a vision of peace under Prince Alfred.
