Description

Chronicling the saga of the Magnolia State through all of its trials and triumphs, authors Edward N. Akin and Charles C. Bolton bring to life the colorful events and personalities that have shaped the life and character of Mississippi. From its exciting past to its vibrant present, Mississippi: An Illustrated History traces the state's development from its earliest times, through the expedition of Hernando De Soto, the bloody Civil War, the devastating flood of 1927, through today's challenges, to form an unequalled portrait. Here are the men and women of the past who have fought for the state: the laborers and leaders, the farmers and educators, who believed in Mississippi and forged its future with their strength and perseverance. Mississippi's great crop of musicians, writers, and artists -- William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Kate Freeman Clark, and Walter Anderson -- are individually profiled, creating a contemporary collage of Mississippi culture. Illuminating the manuscript are more than 350 vintage black and white photographs, drawings, and etchings, plus lush color paintings and photographs, expertly collected and captioned by Bolton and Patti Carr Black. Biographies of many of Mississippi bussinesses and organizations are highlighted in a special chapter entitled "Chronicles of Leadership." An illustrated timeline of significant events further enhances the text and puts it all in perspective. Mississippi: An Illustrated History, a volume of history at its best, will inform and delight long-time residents and newcomers alike. In years ahead, this volume is certain to prove a valuable reference as well as a handsome addition to the library of every friend of Mississippi. Book jacket.
