"An engaging new history . . . A delightful surprise. Filled with enjoyable anecdotes and fast paced tales. This book is a keeper. A must for Deep South aficionados!"
--The Greenwood Commonwealth
"Fraiser relates the invaluable contributions made by people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. He points out with rare perceptiveness the continuing impact of this intriguing mix of cultures in the region today."
--The Biloxi Sun Herald
"Fraiser tells his stories in an entertaining, clearly penned manner, stories of unlikely heroes and legendary villains, ghastly death and ghostly sightings, bright humor and dark tragedy. Mississippi River Country Tales is fascinating material."
--Delta Book News
Mississippi River Country Tales is a historic journey through the river towns of the Deep South, beginning with De Soto and early settlement of the area, through stories of land pirates, steamboats, and scoundrels, right up through the Civil War and the struggle for civil rights. The book is further accented by nearly fifty black-and-white photographs that give natives and non-natives alike a taste of this compelling history.
