A folksy first-person monologue, written and performed by Kentucky Colonel L. Henry Dowell, telling the life of Harland “Colonel” Sanders in his own voice: a sixth-grade education, jobs as a mule tender, railroad worker, and tire salesman, and a Corbin lunchroom that grew into the fried chicken empire.
It’s the script of a one-man stage show rather than a straight biography, but it captures Sanders’ hard-luck-to-fame arc and Kentucky drawl in a quick, entertaining read.
