Description

For almost 200 years; Jackson County has been a typical farming community in the Mississippi Delta. Based on timber; cotton; and freshwater pearls; its early economy produced great wealth for a small group of landowners. In the 1920s; Jackson County was the 10th-largest cotton producer in the country. However; with the arrival of the tractor in the 1950s and the departure of the laboring classes; the county�s economy spiraled downward. The tensions in this social mix led to a creative fermentation that allowed Jackson County to become one of the birthplaces of rock and roll. Images of America: Newport and Jackson County tells many of the colorful stories of the history of the county; from land barons and sharecroppers to Elvis; illuminating the rich heritage of its apparently simple towns and communities.
