90 Degrees in the Shade by Clarence Cason

Clarence Cason

1898-1935

Clarence Cason, born in Alabama, excelled academically at the University of Alabama and served in World War I. After the war, Cason worked as a journalist for various newspapers and taught journalism at the University of Minnesota. He eventually returned to the University of Alabama to establish the Department of Journalism and continued to write essays for national publications. Tragically, Cason took his own life in 1935, just before the publication of his book 90 in the Shade, despite the potential acclaim it might have received.
