Bøker av James B. Griffin

The purpose of the Lower Mississippi Survey (LMS) - a term used to identify both the fieldwork and this resultant volume - was to investigate the northern two-thirds of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi river, to develop an understanding of the archaeology of the area.

This book is a collection of letters from James B. Griffin, a wealthy planter from Edgfield, South Carolina. With a strong introduction from the editors, this book recounts an officer's Civil War and provides a social and military history.
