It is a land that has produced the best cotton, the Blues, celebrated personages, and a style of living like that nowhere else. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The author, Frank E. Smith, was a U.S. Congressman from this region. His perspective on the Yazoo Delta Region, therefore, is particularly valuable since it comes from his varied experience as a member of the House of Representatives, where he concentrated on the special problems of conservation and development of natural resources, and from his being a consecrated devotee and native son of the Delta. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Yazoo River\u003c\/i\u003e he recounts the important history, the folklife, and the heritage that make this place unique. Though time and social revolution in the Civil Rights era have brought many changes to the Yazoo region, Frank Smith's book remains virtually undated in the fair balance he gives his accounts and in his presentation of historical fact.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn immensely pleasurable book that unlocks the door to one of the most unusual and diverse regions in the U.S., the culturally rich Delta flatland embraced by two rivers, the Mississippi and the Yazoo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 1988\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722215624767,"sku":"9780878053551","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/0a50d51dba92e33a39dcffb603ecaa12.webp?v=1765095003","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-yazoo-river-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
