Becoming Southern [electronic resource] : The Evolution of a Way of Life, Warren County and Vicksburg, Mississippi, 1770-1860

By exploring Warren County's history, Morris traces the evolution of Old South society from its pioneer origins to its end at the onset of the Civil War. This is a study of a society's development, a snapshot of a people and community in crisis, which challenges many accepted notions of what we have come to understand as Southern culture.
