Mississippi
Elvis Presley may be long gone from Tupelo. The shoreline of Biloxi may alter with every hurricane. But the icons and landmarks of Mississippi history remain preserved in our Magnolia State catalogue. Learn the lessons of an Oktibbeha County schoolhouse. Catch the Hattiesburg boxing match that crowned John Sullivan champion and watch the Yazoo Pass Expedition slog grimly through the marsh. Whether it’s the mournful twang of a blues guitar or the savory sizzle that announces the arrival of Delta Tamales, these Mississippi history books capture the vital sensations of the state’s past.
