Being that I've been born and raised in Memphis, the northern-most point of the Mississippi Delta, it's always fascinated me. From the floods and factories, to the farms and agriculture--it's just interesting to me.

As some of you might recall, I went "country" last fall and had my first true taste of Delta-life. While parusing the Memphis magazine website today, I stumbled upon a new treasure.

This book is now added to my ever-growing "need to read" list, and it should be on yours too. Don't take my word for it though, Memphis agrees with me.
