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.
