Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mississippi's People Mississippi is land. It is square miles of the earth's surface bounded on the north by Tennessee, on the east by Alabama, on the south by Louisiana and the soft waters of the Gulf and on the west by The River, the storied Mississippi. In its variety Mississippi is more than this. It is the old plantation area on the loamy bluffs around Natchez. It is the live oaks and moss, shipbuilding and tourists of the Coast. It is the rolling black soil and milk cows of the Prairie, the flat black soil and cotton of the Delta. It is red hills and fertile valleys in the north; oil wells, lumber mills and truck farms in the south. Mississippi is more than its land and rivers; more than its natural resources, its farms and businesses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Pioneers Preachers and People Mississippi Valley Classic Reprint written by William Henry Milburn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneers, Preachers and People Mississippi Valley IT is now nearly two and twenty years since my father pitched his tent in Prairie-land. I was then a lad. The broad savannas, clad with flowers; the emerald groves, that seemed like islands of the deep; the Father of Waters; the Mother of Floods the Beautiful River; the fierce, ostrich-like Piasau, whose outline on the bluffs of the Mississippi above Alton commemorates the Indian's dread of the terri ble being: these soon took a strong hold of my imagination. From that day to this, the West has been to me a land half of dream and half of reality. To read and hear everything connected with its history became a passion. I have sought in this book to set in order the results of this reading and hearing. It would be almost impossible for me to say what parts came to me from tradition and what from the written page.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Banditti of the Prairies a Tale of the Mississippi Valley The valley of the Mississippi River from its earliest settlement has been more infested with reckless and blood stained men, than any other part of the country, being more congenial to their habits and offering the greatest inducements to follow their nefarious and dangerous trade. Situated as it is, of great commercial importance, and the river whose name it bears, together with its tributaries stretching four thousand miles north from the Gulf of Mexico, and draining all the country south and west of the great chain of Lakes, and between the Alleghany and Rocky Mountains, it has afforded them an unequalled chance to escape detection and pursuit, and thus wooed as it were, countless villains and blood-stained, law-doomed ones to screen themselves in its bosom. Organized bands, trampling upon right, and defying all law human or divine, have so annoyed the peaceful and quiet citizens of this great valley, that in the absence of a sufficient judicial power the aid of "Judge Lynch" has been but too frequently called in, and a neighboring tree proved a gallows and "a short shrift and strong cord" been the doom of those who have ever plead vainly for mercy at his bar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Mississippi: From the Discovery of the Great River by Hernando Desoto, Including the Earliest Settlement Made by the French Under Iberville, to the Death of Jefferson Davis It is not proposed to deprecate criticism of any sort, whether reasonable or unreasonable. In the free land of America critics do much abound, and they have the unquestioned right to criticise whatsoever and whomsoever they please. The preparation of the volume now presented to the people of Mississippi has been a genuine labor of love. Each of the authors has spent the best years of his existence in the State. They have shared with their fellow-citizens the days of their prosperity and their years of poverty. They have rejoiced with them in their gladness, and have mourned with them in their long years of sorrow. Each is bound to the State by the dearest of human ties. Each has his dead reposing in her soil, and the' hope of each is that when the last tattoo is sounded for them, they, too, may rest in the bosom of Mississippi beside those who: have preceded them to the shadowy land of the hereafter.
