Natchez Trace: Two Centuries of Travel
Book details
Summary
Description
Here is Natchez Trace today, as gripping and hauntingly beautiful as it has been for centuries, captured in photographs and words that bring alive a lush and mysterious landscape. A well-known trail long before nationhood, the 450-mile route linking Nashville, Tennessee, and Natchez, Mississippi, once played a vital role for the most adventuresome people.
Exploring the Natchez Trace in these pages is a time trip through early natural and human influences in a region that withstood a rowdy and violent past to evolve into a national backbone. And nature covers it all---cataclysmic geological changes, wildlife, plant life, water, and seasonal changes.
Writer/photographer Bert Gildart rewards readers by creating an authentic awareness of splendid, little-known places and spirited people sharing unique events along the Trace.
