Book Description
Across a century, Victoria Bynum reinterprets the cultural, social, and political meaning of Mississippi's longest civil war, waged in the Free State of Jones, the southeastern Mississippi county that was home to a Unionist stronghold during the Civil War and home to a large and complex mixed-race community in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Book Description
When Hertford County was established in 1759, Eastern North Carolina had served as a home to African Americans for more than 170 years. Over time free blacks and the Meherrin people married, creating a unique free black community of farmers and artisans. Since that time, residents, enriched by diversity, have enjoyed the county's small-town feel and picturesque landscape.

Book Description
Many travelers have passed through Jones County over the years and remember the oak-lined streets in the county seat of Trenton, the impressive courthouse, and the old Brock Mill with its gentle overflow and cypress-covered pond. Others remember the southern homes in the towns of Maysville and Pollocksville, and the brick plantation home of the Foscue family just north of Pollocksville. Though Jones County was settled as an extension of New Bern in the early eighteenth century, it came into its own during the antebellum period with substantial plantation homes, often featuring two-story porches. The distance between these homes, set upon a flat landscape of cleared agricultural fields, and separated by the meandering Trent and White Oak rivers, pocosins, and forestlands, only added to their individual grandeur. This book offers a glimpse of these historic resources. Initiated as a countywide survey in the late 1990s, it is the culmination of years of additional fieldwork and research designed to add context to the individual buildings and agricultural structures along with a sense of the people who had inhabited them. Though many of these structures have disappeared with time, documented only through photographs and drawings, much of the rich architectural heritage of the county is still visible today. Of almost equal importance, Jones County retains its rural character, including its managed forestlands and vast open landscapes of cultivated fields of cotton, tobacco, corn, and soybeans. It is our sincere hope that The Architectural History of Jones County, North Carolina will provide readers with a deeper appreciation of the rich and diversified heritage of this unique county in the southeastern coastal plain of North Carolina.
