Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

"Surviving sentinels of past prosperity depict a society striving for achievement while hampered and fettered by past imperfect decisions." --from the foreword Though much is made of the plantation homes of the Mississippi Delta, this region of rich alluvial soil is not the only site of plantation mansions, nor is it the only source of the state's architectural and historical interest. Coastal Mississippi bears diverse cultural influences from Spanish, French, and British rule, just as the heartland does from the Chickasaw, Creek, and Choctaw's historic occupation. This architectural tour of eastern Mississippi is also filled with political history, including many Civil War sites. Covering an area from the "centre of refined and extended hospitality" at Waverly in West Point to the Old Capitol building in Jackson, these homes speak as much for the history of the state as for the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Even film buffs will be delighted to discover where Robert Mitchum filmed scenes from his 1950s movie Home from the Hills. Filled with absorbing tales and a superb selection of interior and exterior photographs, this book is a wonderful tour companion or armchair read.
