[DOC] General Sherman and the Georgia Belles: Tales from Women Left Behind by Cathy J. Kaemmerlen in Arts-Photography

Description

From the hills to the coast; the people of Mississippi have stories to tell. Most would never guess that Raleigh; Mississippi; once played host to the National Tobacco Spitting Contest. Over in Okolona; children are told of the man who lived--and died--deep down in a hole and scared passersby. From the gandy dancers who built the first train tracks in Mississippi to the eight-foot-tall man who lived in the woods of Columbia; read tales that range from common myth to a good bit of righteous gossip. Author and storyteller Diane Williams traveled across the Magnolia State to gather these local legends and has compiled them into an inquisitive; laugh-out-loud collection.
