Capturing townspeople and lifestyles that have long
since disappeared, this remarkable review of Marshall
County’s history features dozens of images which have
never before been published. Antebellum mansions and Victorian cottages look new again; cotton gins and
wagons lining the courthouse square mirror an agrarian economy, which has all but vanished from the area. From the desperate poverty of turn-of-the-century sharecroppers to the revelry of a 1950s homecoming parade, all aspects and segments of Holly Springs life are included. Marshall County natives will recognize old friends and familiar businesses in these images. Those just discovering this fascinating corner of Mississippi will see its history graphically illustrated through the lens of
Mrs. Smith’s camera.
