Gone: A Photographic Plea For Preservation

=============================================================
Gone: A Photographic Plea For Preservation

By Nell Dickerson, Shelby Foote, Robert Hicks (Foreword)

"The Civil War (Sic) had been over for exactly ninety years in 1954, when my cousin, Shelby Foote, published--PILLAR OF FIRE--as part of his novel, Jordan County: A Landscape in Narrative. The book's stories painted a vivid picture of a fictitious Mississippi county steeped in Southern culture.

PILLAR OF FIRE took readers into a heartbreaking and commonplace scene late in the Civil War, when Union troops moved through the civilian South destroying not only plantations but also ordinary homes and cabins.
