Description: This book is part of a series of short volumes which focus on specific chapters in Elvis' life, from neighbors and family in Tupelo and Memphis, to Army friends, spiritual mentors, and his inner circle. Each book stands alone, but together they inform a broader journey through Elvis' world - layered, human, and deeply Southern. This volume discusses a letter the Colonel did author to Elvis in 1960. From the book back cover:
"Colonel Parker never wrote a book or published his memories of Elvis. But the Colonel did author a letter to Elvis in 1960 which allows fans and historians a glimpse into the personal dynamic between the two men, including detailed descriptions of the tensions created by the group of friends constantly surrounding Elvis. Previously available only in private collections, now you can read this astounding letter for yourself!"
