Reviews

From Elvis to Tennessee Williams, from Natchez Under-the-Hill to the Mighty Mississippi, James L Robertson finds a narrative to fit the mood and landscape of the eighty-two counties. Robertson's research is impeccable, and his understanding of the legal and social nuances enhances the inherently fascinating stories of people and the places that shaped them. Every Mississippian would enjoy reading this unconventional history of the state; those readers outside its boundaries will be entertained, enlightened, and often surprised by the depth of characters and history contained here.--Deborah-Zenha Adams ""Southern Literary Review""
