From Publisher:
Lovers of great houses will have cause for rejoicing in the reissuing of this beautiful book that unites David King Gleason, who was one of America's most accomplished photographers, with a historic little river city renowned for its palatial antebellum mansions.Natchez, with rival sister cities of Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans, claims the South's architectural crown. Each year thousands of visitors reverently tour the scores of great houses that grace Natchez. Gleason's full-color pictures convey the style and charm of this jewel on the Mississippi whose architectural splendor reflects the planter culture of the Deep South.Featured are fifty-nine majestic houses such as Rosalie, Stanton Hall, Melrose, Longwood, Auburn, D'Evereux, Dunleith, and Monteigne. A remarkably fascinating narrative by Mary Miller and Ron Miller accompanies the photographs. The writers' meticulous research of historical records authenticates the colorful story of each house during its heyday.Thus this is the only book on Natchez to include both magnificent full-color photographs and accurate information about all of the houses on the city's spring and fall tours.The Great Houses of Natchez, published again at great demand, captures the city's astonishing grace and heritage.Product Info
