Books by Mary Mann Hamilton

Mary Mann Hamilton was one of the first women to homestead in the Mississippi Delta. Encouraged by a friend at the end of her life, Hamilton put into words an amazing life story that would remain unpublished for more than fifty years. Her legacy lives on in her children and their descendants, many of whom stayed on in the Mississippi Delta, forming their own bonds with the land, becoming farmers, and shaping the business culture. (One of her great-grandsons even became Governor of the State.)
