Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Mississippi History, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Sketches of Countries, Towns, Events, Institutions and Persons The rapid and marvelous development of the United States into one of the foremost nations of the world has had a tendency to direct the attention of the historian to national, rather than to State affairs. This tendency has gone so far that we are deficient in that concrete knowl edge of the States of the Union which is so necessary in recording the history of the Nation. The plan upon which this work is projected is, to combine the best features of histories for continuous reading with the cyclopedic style for ready reference. This is a new departure in State histories which, it is believed, will be acceptable to the serious student as well as to the busy man of affairs.
