Excerpt from Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. 11 The most notable feature of the volume is the large number of contributions on the local history of reconstruction. A partial justification of the interest shown in this new and important phase of work will be found in an Appendix to the Proceedings. So far as is known to the editor, the University of Mississippi is the first educational institution to foster investigation in this particular field. It is hoped that the evidences of success shown by the contributions published in this and the preceding volume will encourage students in the colleges and universities through out the South to attempt similar lines of investigation. This volume also contains contributions on two historic inter state thoroughfares that have exerted much influence upon the history of Mississippi. The last two articles will doubtless be read with pleasure by students who are interested in the history of the Indians of the State.

Excerpt from Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. 13 This volume is devoted to the history of reconstruction in four counties of Mississippi. It will be noted that these counties represent different agricultural sections of the State, and that they are typical from a racial point of view. Panola county, partly in the Yazoo delta and partly in the hill section of northwest Mississippi, had a population in 1870 of 12,585 negroes to 8,167 whites. Oktibbeha country, partly in the northeastern prairie belt, had a black population in 1870 of 9,304 with only 5,587 whites. Lafayette county, principally in the hill section of north Mississippi, had a white majority, the population in 1870 being 10,819 whites to 7,938 negroes. Scott county is partly in the central prairie belt, but belongs principally to the pine-hill region, and had a safe white majority, its population in 1870 being 4,680 whites and 3,167 negroes. There were a greater number of large plantations in Panola and Oktibbeha than in Lafayette and Scott counties. Fortunately, ample sources were available for an exhaustive study of reconstruction problems in the two counties - Panola and Scott - which represent the most important and diverse sections of the State. Detailed statements of the objects of these investigations and the methods by which they are conducted will be found in Volumes XI (pages 12-13)and XII (pages 12-15) of this series.

Excerpt from Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. 12 The Mississippi Historical Society is fortunate in the character of the contributions which have been submitted for publication in this volume. The readers of other volumes of the series will be gratified to find herein interesting contributions from two investigators whose writings they have enjoyed heretofore. Dr. Fleming's article adds another chapter to his valuable Life of Jefferson Davis, which will undoubtedly be an illuminating contribution to Southern biography. Captain McNeilly's thorough and discriminating contributions to the reconstruction history of the State have won for him a place in the front rank of Mississippi historians. One of the most notable features of this volume is the exceptional number of valuable articles on the educational history of the State. All of these contributions are of more than local interest, since they treat of men and events, more or less known and appreciated by the students of other parts of the country. The limits of this volume permit the publication of only two out of a large number of county histories of reconstruction that are in the hands of the editor. Readers who have expressed an interest in this important phase of work will be gratified to learn that other contributions on the subject will appear in the succeeding volumes of the series.

Excerpt from Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. 9 This volume of the Publications contains for the most part the important results of researches in Mississippi history that have been completed since the appearance of Volume VIII. The first part of the volume contains a number of important contributions to the different phases of State history - military, political, biographical, literary, religious, economic, and aboriginal - which have hitherto engaged the attention of investigators. The preceding volumes of this series have been devoted largely to the publication of new contributions to the exclusion of much valuable source material which the authorities of the Society have been anxious to give to the public. Upon the suggestion of the editor of these Publications and the voluntary surrender of half of the usual appropriations that have been made to the Society for historical publications, the Legislature of the State has provided for the regular and systematic publication in a separate series of all source materials of an official character. As a result of this wise policy the first volume of Mississippi Territorial Archives, edited by Hon. Dunbar Rowland, Director of the State Department of Archives and History, appeared in 1905. The Historical Society will continue to publish in connection with "the finished products of research" some of the most valuable unofficial sources of State history. It is hoped that in the future more space in its Publications will be available for this important class of contributions. The reader will be gratified to find three valuable contributions of this character in the current volume. The appearance of this volume marks the inauguration of another long-cherished plan of the editor, - the republication of very rare contributions of great historical value which, having been originally printed in ephemeral form in the remote past, are now inaccessible to investigators. The demand for this class of publications has been rendered almost imperative by the rapid development of historical investigation in Mississippi.

Excerpt from Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol. 1 To awaken greater interest in what. However estimated, Mississippians have accomplished in the field of literature. To provoke research into even its remote and unfrequented corners; and, chiefly, to place more prominently before the people of his much-loved State a poet too little known, is the double purpose of this essay.
