Inspired by the 1968 National Geographic article, "Life Along the Natchez Trace", I decided to share these photos of what I refer to as 'the country'. These are photos from the former plantation lands in which African-Americans remained after the Civil War and made it their homes. These specific area cover Sibley, MS the areas known as Beverly and Hutchins Landing in southern Adams County, MS. The first photo is taken from the National Geographic Magazine.  |
