Description for Delta Deep Down
hardcover. The Mississippi Delta evokes a sense of mystery, beauty, and hardship in equal measure. Its haunted fields, turbulent history, and resilient people have been the inspiration for countless songs, tales, and literary works. From the Delta people at work and play to the cloud-draped, endless horizons, this volume paints a portrait of this place. Editor(s): McDaris, Wendy. Num Pages: 112 pages, 96 full-colour photographs. BIC Classification: 1KBBSL; AJC; WTM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 18. Weight in Grams: 1021.

On the right, at the edge of a field of cotton, a grey-clad horseman moves in the opposite direction, a ghost returning to history.""--Steve Yarbrough, from the introduction The Mississippi Delta evokes mystery, beauty, and hardship in equal measures.
