Hard covered book titled COUNTRY LAWYER: An Autobiography signed by Fred Whitaker. Signed on both the title page and the cover page, First Edition First Printing, 1993, Best of East Texas Publishers, ISBN 1878096281, 227 pages.

Practicing law in rural East Texas, Whitaker carved a legal career that made him one of Texas' most respected lawyers. He took on some of the toughest cases in Texas, often challenging giant corporations and blue chip law firms. Many of his clients were the people of East Texas, sometimes so poor they paid him with farm produce and in-kind services. He became known as "the underdog's lawyer." This is the story of a farm boy who overcame adversity to fulfill his own dream - and then committed his life to helping others overcome their own adversity.
