{"product_id":"newport-and-jackson-county-tim-watson-9781467115858","title":"Newport and Jackson County","description":"For almost 200 years, Jackson County has been a typical farming community in the Mississippi Delta. Based on timber, cotton, and freshwater pearls, its early economy produced great wealth for a small group of landowners. In the 1920s, Jackson County was the 10th-largest cotton producer in the country. However, with the arrival of the tractor in the 1950s and the departure of the laboring classes, the county's economy spiraled downward. The tensions in this social mix led to a creative fermentation that allowed Jackson County to become one of the birthplaces of rock and roll. Images of America: Newport and Jackson County tells many of the colorful stories of the history of the county, from land barons and sharecroppers to Elvis, illuminating the rich heritage of its apparently simple towns and communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Watson, Betsy Jacoway Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467115851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467115858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Tim Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936104481023,"sku":"9781467115858","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0f3ca6f0-0dc5-40a6-be08-a84ef040416f.jpg?v=1681423612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/newport-and-jackson-county-tim-watson-9781467115858","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
