This book is about a group of six ( 6 ) young boys growing up in rural South Carolina during the time of the State's largest mass murder case. This area is named Prospect and is noted to be the hometown of South Carolina's most notorious Serial Killer, Donald Henry (Pee Wee) Gaskins. When growing up in this area we all knew him as Junior Parrott. Gaskins admitted to killing Thirteen (13) people during his trial. During this period, we would see Pee Wee all the time in and around the Prospect area. Pee Wee actually lived at Prospect crossroads, in an old grocery store that had been converted into a house, with his mother and when he was young had worked for several of the local farmers and contractors. The first part of this book is actually some stories of how young boys from this area, including me, actually entertained themselves back in the 1960's and 1970's, including a couple of stories about Pee Wee when he was young. The first part also has some stories of how someone (maybe Pee Wee) followed this group of boys around the Prospect area because some strange things happened to us during the time Pee Wee was killing and burying his victims in the Prospect area. The second part of this book is about things that happened in the "Famous Prospect Murder Case". It includes investigative reports and stories from outside and inside the courtroom from the discovery of the first bodies at Prospect, the trials, the killers, the victims and the electrocution of South Carolina's most notorious Serial Killer, Donald Henry "Pee Wee" Gaskins. Gaskins was convicted and electrocuted for killing a murderer on Death Row in a South Carolina Prison but not for killing thirteen ( 13 ) innocent people mostly teenagers.
