Primarily focused on photography, with commentary for each photograph. Always the South comes to us in images. The word images of its celebrated writers. And the visual recollections of our own lives. If we could but find the right words and uncover the exact photographs, we could save out of the past the people, the places, the events, the sense of time and family that is the heritage of the South. Together in this book are just such words and just such photographs..."--Amazon.com accessed 06/25/2011 William Weaks "Willie" Morris (November 29, 1934 — August 2, 1999), was an American writer and editor born in Jackson, Mississippi, though his family later moved to Yazoo City, Mississippi, which he immortalized in his works of prose. Morris' trademark was his lyrical prose style and reflections on the American South, particularly the Mississippi Delta. In 1967 he became the youngest editor of Harper's Magazine. He wrote several works of fiction and non-fiction, including his seminal book 'North Toward Home,' as well as 'My Dog Skip.' -- Wikipedia.org accessed 06/25/2011
