For me my interest in Mississippi history stems from its oddity. variety and obscurity. The mix of cultures. from Natchez area of early wealth and "sin" to the many important churches with people worshiping nearby. Diversity of a state which is over half Black in population. and also has remnents of strong Choctaw. Chickasaw and Natchez Native Amer. life. Churches helped to organize the disparate groups and were the strongest source for growth of groups and people. People gathered there. like slaves and freemen gathered to organize. Mississippi is a story of a history. steeped in a story of faith and church structures. It isnt straightforward. but steeped in inuendo. I love this book and the historical source information which I have found in this beautiful book. I also respect the source of the information presented. the author and publisher. both from Millsaps College. a prestigious Methodist College in Jackson. founded about 1892.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
