- The stories of many of the stately Natchez mansions; the people who built them, the lives that they lived there, and those who preserve them today.
- And of course, many of the city's most colorful characters from its history. A fellow who wanted to be the King of Natchez, a man accused of high treason by the U.S. government, and a hangman who also played the blues.

We just recently returned from Natchez, Miss. I wish I had read
this book before I went. I learned so much from it and it made
me want to return to the City on the bluff.
