Book Description
Mississippi is a state in the southern United States of America. It is located between Louisiana to the west, Arkansas to the north, Tennessee to the northeast, Alabama to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Mississippi is the 32nd state to be admitted to the Union in 1817 and has an area of about 125,000 square kilometers. In this chapter, we will take an in-depth look at the geography, history, and culture of Mississippi. Geography Mississippi is a state crisscrossed by rivers and waterways, characterized primarily by agriculture and forestry. The Mississippi River flows along the western border of the state, while the Tennessee River flows through the northeast. The Pearl River flows through the southern part of the state and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi also has numerous lakes, including Grenada Lake, Ross Barnett Reservoir, and Sardis Lake. The state has a subtropical climate zone with hot, humid summers and mild winters. The average temperature in summer is 32 degrees Celsius, while the average temperature in winter is 7 degrees Celsius. History Mississippi has a rich history dating back to the Native Americans. The first inhabitants of the area were Native American tribes such as the Chickasaw, the Choctaw, and the Natchez. However, over time, French, Spanish and British also came to the region and fought for control of the area. Mississippi was an important source of cotton and other agricultural products during slavery, which led to the state becoming a major economic center. During the Civil War, Mississippi played an important role as a member of the Confederacy, which led to it being shaped later in the decades that followed by Union rebuilding and the civil rights movement. Culture The culture of Mississippi is diverse, ranging from music to art and cuisine. The state is known for its contributions to music, especially blues and jazz. Famed musician Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and Delta blues originated in the Mississippi Delta region. The blues and other genres of music are celebrated throughout the state, especially at the annual Mississippi Delta Blues & Heritage Festival in Greenville. Mississippi also has a rich culinary tradition, including traditional Southern cuisine. Some of the most popular dishes include fried chicken, barbecue, gumbo, cornbread, and sweet potato pie. Many of these dishes are served at festivals across the state. Finally, Mississippi is also known for its antebellum homes and historic sites. Many of these pre-Civil War properties have been preserved and are now used as museums. These include, for example, the Beauvoir estate, which served as the retirement home of the former President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis, and is now a museum. Also worth seeing are the antebellum houses in Natchez, which have been restored to their original form and give a glimpse into the life of the Southern aristocracy before the Civil War.

Book Description
At a crossroads in the Mississippi Delta, Robert Johnson is said to have sold his soul to the Devil so that he could become a guitar virtuoso and King of the Delta Blues.

Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Memphis Minnie, Jimmie Rodgers, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Little Milton, Elvis Presley, Bobby Rush, Junior Kimbrough, R. L. Burnside-the list of great artists with Mississippi connections goes on and on. A trip through Mississippi blues sites is a pilgrimage every music lover ought to make at least once in a lifetime, to see the juke joints and churches, to visit the birthplaces and graves of blues greats, to walk down the dusty roads and over the levee, to eat some barbecue and greens, to sit on the bank of the Mississippi River, and to hear some down-home blues music. Blues Traveling is the first and only guidebook to Mississippi's musical places and blues history. With photographs, maps, easy-to-follow directions, and an informative, entertaining text, this book will lead you in and out of Clarksdale, Greenwood, Helena (Arkansas), Rolling Fork, Jackson, Natchez, Bentonia, Rosedale, Itta Bena, and dozens of other locales that generations of blues musicians have lived in, traveled through, and sung about. Stories, legends, and lyrics are woven into the text so that each backroad and barroom comes alive. Touring Mississippi with Blues Traveling is like having a knowledgeable and entertaining guide at your side. Even people with no immediate plans to visit Mississippi will enjoy reading the book for its photos, descriptions, and lore that will broaden their understanding and enhance their appreciation of the blues. Steve Cheseborough is an independent scholar and blues musician. His work has been published in Living Blues, Blues Access, Mississippi, and the Southern Register .
