![]() ![]() ![]() After having childhood desire to become a MLB player, settling on a legal career was not a simple thing for John Grisham. ![]() Her efforts did prove fruitful, as John Grisham successfully attended and graduated from Mississippi State University and later law school, graduating from Ole Miss. However, his mother had different aspirations for her son and began grooming him for college, although she herself had never received a formal education. They settled down again in Southaven, Mississippi and that is where the young John Grisham became determined to be a baseball player for his profession. However, the family began to move around to different areas, still south of the Mason-Dixon Line, while Grisham was in his youth. His father happened to be a cotton farmer at the time. He arrived in the world on February 8, 1955, when cotton was still a major product of the south. Although the land has been a place of much turmoil, some positive things have arisen for it, as it was in Jonesboro, Arkansas that John Grisham was born. The American south has long been a point of interest to historians as it was the place where slavery once boomed and racisim ran rampant. ![]()
