culture. Alan Huffman will explore
the history of a deer camp in the Delta on Thursday, October 19, 2000, at 7:00

Huffman’s book, Ten
Point: Deer Camp in the Mississippi Delta
(University Press of Mississippi, 1997) focuses on a deer camp in Issaquena
County that his family visited between 1927 and 1962.
Huffman skillfully mixes the stories of deer camps and hunting with his
grandmother’s vintage photographs. A
former writer for the Clarion-Ledger, Huffman currently divides his time between
his research business in Jackson and writing a book on Prospect Hill Plantation
to be released in fall of 2001.
The

Streets in Downtown Vicksburg. A
