Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people who live in towns and cities along the Mississippi River in the southern United States are a special breed, steeped in 500 years of history as rich as the coffee they drink, or the soil where once the river ran. Mississippi River Country Tales is a fast-paced, easy to read history that covers everything from the early conquistadors and the first Mardi Gras to Fannie Lou Hamer and Archie Manning, and covers the geographic region from Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana. The book has received hearty praise from reviewers across the South: "[Mississippi River Country Tales] contains an incredible cast of real-life characters that would defy any writer of fiction to create lest they be perceived as too unbelievable. The book can do nothing but add to Jim Fraiser's growing reputation as another young Mississippi writer who knows how to tell stories about the places and people he knows best." --Biloxi Sun-Herald

In Clarke County, it moves sleepily toward the Gulf of Mexico as it passes through the towns of Enterprise, Stonewall, Quitman, DeSoto, and Shubuta. These towns are small in size but rich in history, from Civil War stories about Gen. William Sherman's destruction to the men of the "Free State of Jones," from a hanging bridge that became the national poster for the Civil Rights Movement to local tales about ghosts, murders, and football legends. There is a photo included with each story that relates to the historical place or main character of the chapter. You will not find most of their treasures in the pages of published books. Instead, they exist in the minds and stories of the citizens, told over and over to each generation. Whether the old men in the local coffee house, the dock workers at the feed store, or the ladies in the beauty shop-wherever you find people gathered, the stories fill the air of discussion. Usually, all you have to do is ask the right person.Every community has stories of ghosts and legends. But few communities have stories that capture the imagination like the ones in this book. When you visit some of the locations mentioned herein, it seems your mind drifts back in time and you can feel the presence of those who lived out these stories. So, invite your neighbors over and build a campfire in your backyard, or maybe gather on your front porch, and read to the next generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise illustrated guidebook for those wishing to explore and know more about the storied gateway that made possible Alabama's development Forged through the territory of the Creek Nation by the United States federal government, the Federal Road was developed as a communication artery linking the east coast of the United States with Louisiana. Its creation amplified already tense relationships between the government, settlers, and the Creek Nation, culminating in the devastating Creek War of 1813–1814, and thereafter it became the primary avenue of immigration for thousands of Alabama settlers. Central to understanding Alabama’s territorial and early statehood years, the Federal Road was both a physical and symbolic thoroughfare that cut a swath of shattering change through the land and cultures it traversed. The road revolutionized Alabama’s expansion, altering the course of its development by playing a significant role in sparking a cataclysmic war, facilitating unprecedented American immigration, and enabling an associated radical transformation of the land itself. The first half of The Old Federal Road in Alabama: An Illustrated Guide offers a narrative history that includes brief accounts of the construction of the road, the experiences of historic travelers, and descriptions of major changes to the road over time. The authors vividly reconstruct the course of the road in detail and make use of a wealth of well-chosen illustrations. Along the way they give attention to the very terrain it traversed, bringing to life what traveling the road must have been like and illuminating its story in a way few others have ever attempted. The second half of the volume is divided into three parts—Eastern, Central, and Southern—and serves as a modern traveler’s guide to the Federal Road. This section includes driving tours and maps, highlighting historical sites and surviving portions of the old road and how to visit them.

Book excerpt: Even though Hancock County is only a small corner of a large state, it has a rich history involving pirates, the Civil War, cotton plantations, slavery and Native Americans. This book explores the legends that have been passed down regarding important events and their participants. They have been told and re-told, sometimes with modifications and maybe even embellishment. It has been the task of this author to uncover and explain the truths that are the bases of the stories, and to find and report as much as possible using primary evidence and written history. A reader will find the results of a detailed investigation into the fabled Pirate House of Waveland, Ms. Official Spanish papers document the arrest of slave dealers operating in the Mississippi Sound. Testimony of local citizens reveals the use made of the legendary "tunnel" believed by some to extend "to the islands." The Civil War and its effects on county business and on the lives of citizens are painfully depicted. A Citizens Committee was created to prevent looting and other depredations. In this instance, officials of a Confederate state found it necessary to seek the advice of Union officers for instructions on how to arrest, try, sentence and execute those who were stealing from hard-working families... all through original letters written within a family living in Logtown. In addition, flesh is put on some old bones in the telling of the lives of some of those who built the county ... what they did, where they worked, where they came from. In the process, names will be recognized as those of folk who were of more than local significance, such as JFH Claiborne, Jean Lafitte, Simon Favre, and Andrew Jackson, Jr. In addition, a few unknown characters are revealed and described, people whose stories are worth the telling. Indeed, the personage named Blanque may create new and tantalizing mystery. It is believed by the author that in knowing and understanding of what came before, readers may help themselv

It was the westernmost section of a land that was known for nearly half a century (1763-1810) as "West Florida" and over It flags of two European kingdoms flew, the Union Jack of England for 16 years, and the banner of Spain for 31 years. On the soil of this fruitful southern land was enacted one of the most spectacular events In Louisiana's colorful history, For the space of 74 days this part of the present state was a. free and Independent nation, with Its own governing officials, Its own army, Its own navy, lts own flag, Its own declaration of Independence. To secure this daring, It short-lived freedom, liberty loving Anglo-Saxon Inhabitants, many British to the backbone, literally fashioned their plowshares Into swords and, at the point of these weapons, captured a fort by force and beat down the defenders, to throw off the shackles of a hated European despotism.
