William Faulkner said he wrote about the human heart in conflict with itself, and set most of his greatest work in that "postage stamp of native soil" in Mississippi, which like the human heart is in conflict with itself. "David Sansing, in typical form, utilizes his remarkable talent as a Southern historian to highlight an amazing portrait of the 'Other Mississippi' - one in which the closed society of the past is only part of the story of our state. In captivating style, David eloquently reminds us all of the common bonds that bind us, as it gives a candid, yet hopeful view of Mississippi's continuing struggles - ones in which we 'cannot rewrite the past but can chart our own future'." William Winter Governor, Mississippi (1980-1984)
