Mississippi is home...

Mississippi is myth, magic, mystery

There are so many crossings, so many crossroads, in Mississippi. 
A place of extraordinary natural beauty; a place of treasures, riches, and art beyond imagination, a place rich in history, tradition, and bright promise for tomorrow.

My lifelong dream has been to research, document, and write about my home and the wonderful people who inhabit this place and breathe life and spirit into it.
This is my home...
 

Cotton Gin Port

... abandoned port on the upper Tombigbee River, in Monroe County: Cotton Gin Port
a river crossing and gateway to settlement by Americans in 1815.
 

This is some of the best historical writing about the Hill Country of Northeast Mississippi including Monroe and Itawamba Counties. H.O.G.S. stands for History, Observations, Genealogy, and Stories; and that is the philosophy I appreciate for exploring the history of any place. History is nothing without the stories, the observations, and the experiences of the people who lived it or grew up with it.
Must view - the videos! My favorite is the Ironwood Bluff Bridge, although the video of downtown Amory tugs at my heartstrings, too.
