In 1820, the Treaty of Doak's Stand opened up part of a vast area of Mississippi now called the Delta to settlers. Up until 1830 the Choctaws occupied the area and white men rarely ventured into it. In fact, it seems it was avoided as travelers would stay to the east traveling on the Natchez Trace and other roads located in the southeastern hills of Mississippi. The Delta was considered an uninhabitable swamp that was practically inpenetrable due to the vast forests, thick cane and swamps. This book is about the families that took on the "Swamp" and carved out the first plantations; all the while enduring hardships and setbacks. These early planters laid the foundation for following generations, turning the swamp into an agricultural gold mine and creating the mistique and unique sense of place called the Delta.
