STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS The multiple property nomination for Copiah County, Mississippi, is based on three historic contexts: the Plantation Era, 1823-1865; Development from the Post-Bellum Period to the End of World War II, 1866-1945; and Development of Copiah County's Towns, 1823-1945. I. THE PLANTATION ERA IN COPIAH COUNTY r 1823-1865 Copiah County is a rural county located in southwest central Mississippi. The county is about 37 miles in length and about 24 miles in width, with a land area of 779 square miles. The county is bounded on the north by Hinds County, on the east by Simpson County, on the south by Lincoln and Lawrence Counties, and on the west by Jefferson and Claiborne Counties. The Pearl River forms its eastern boundary. The county is blessed with an abundance of running streams, creeks and bayous. The Pearl River is an extremely winding river too shallow at normal level for navigation; however, until the early, twentieth century it was reported to be navigable for about six months of the year. The Little Bahala Creek rises from springs about three miles east of Hazlehurst and flows southeast to form the Big Bahala Creek, which drains the entire southeastern portion of the county and flows into the Pearl River. Copiah Creek rises southeast of Gallman, flows east and empties into the Pearl River south of Georgetown. Bayou Pierre, a sluggish stream flowing northwesterly through Copiah into Claiborne County and eventually into the Mississippi River, drains a great portion of the western half of the county. The bottom lands along Bayou Pierre are the county's most extensive swamp lands. Several lesser creeks drain the bottom lands (Sartin: 6-7; Rowland, Mississippi I: 565). The general topography of Copiah County, except in the Pearl River bottom, is gently rolling. The Pearl River bottom and other small tracts of land along Bayou Pierre, Copiah, Bailey and other streams afford valleys of exceedingly fertile soil. The county historically had a considerable timber growth, consisting of pine, red post and white oak, hickory, elm, maple, poplar, gum and cypress. The most valuable of these were the long-leaf pine, which were extensively logged. Copiah County has a variety of fine sandy loam soil types suitable to the growing of vegetables and fruits as well as to such staples as cotton and corn (Sartin:!, 8; Rowland, Mississippi 1:565). NN Com 1MOH f OI44HI United Statee Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Historic and Architectural Resources of Copiah County, Mississippi Section number Page Establishment and Early Settlement of County On October 18, 1820, the Treaty of Doak's Stand relinquished Choctaw claim on the Delta and central Mississippi to the United States. This treaty opened a large area along the Mississippi, Yazoo, Big Black, and Pearl rivers to white settlement, and in the 1820s this was the fastest-developing area of the state. By 1830 the white population in this region was almost as large as that of the Natchez District, and the plantation system with its accompanying slave system was developing (Fortune: 252). Within the next sixteen years, nine counties were established from this area: Hinds, Simpson, Copiah, Rankin, Madison, Bolivar, Yazoo, Washington, and Holmes. Copiah County was established on January 21, 1823, being created out of Hinds County by an Act of the Mississippi Legislature. It was the eighteenth Mississippi county to be organized and was established just five years after Mississippi was admitted to the Union. Copiah County was originally larger than at present. In 1824 Simpson County was formed from that portion of Copiah County lying east of the Pearl River, and in 1870 a strip. of Copiah 's southern territory was given to Lincoln County. There are several versions of the derivation of the county's name, -but the most widely accepted is that Copiah derives its name from the Indian word "Kai Paya," meaning calling panther (Sartin: 12-13; Rowland, Mississippi I: 563). Along with the Pearl River, the county has a good number of running streams, creeks and bayous, and some of the earliest settlements of the county were located along these waterways. Originally located on the Pearl River, Georgetown was one of the earliest settlements in the county, but in 1909, when the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad came through the county, the town was moved about one mile to the west along the rail line. When the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad came through the county in 1858, new towns sprang up along the rail line. Beauregard, Gallman, and Hazlehurst were founded in 1858 along the rail line, while Crystal Springs, which was established much earlier in 1825, was moved two miles east to the site of the rail line in 1857. Early settlers came from Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, as well as from the southern counties of Mississippi . Copiah County was rural in character and its economy was based on agriculture, especially the cultivation of cotton. Land was cheap and much of it was very NPt Pom 10400* OMf 4pnmtf M* ffl*MOf • (Ml) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Historic„. and.

"FAILURE To COMMUNICATE ' t THE REEL PRISON EXPERIENCE Melvin Gutterman* I. INTRODUCTION HE academic legal community has failed to appropriately recog- nize the images of law depicted by Hollywood as a legitimate and important subject for scholarly review.' Movies have the capacity to "open up" the discussion of contemporary legal issues that conven- tional legal sources ignore. 2 Although different from the normative legal theory of study, movies provide a rich portrait of popular jurisprudence of legal values.3 A fundamental paradox of many notable films is their inability to simultaneously achieve both scholastic acceptance and artistic achievement, at least equal to other media. 4 Movies are very powerful and can, through the use of provocative images, explore controversial themes and evoke passions that can affect even the most tightly closed minds. 5 The exclusion of films' celebrated images from academic study has its cost. There is, for example, a prevalent belief that life in prison is too t In the most celebrated colloquy in the movie Cool Hand Luke, the Captain as he stands over the defiant convict Luke asserts, "[w]hat we've got here is failure to communicate." What the Captain actually demands is that Luke totally capitulate to the contemptible prison system he embodies.

Annie Coleman Peyton (1852-1898) is one of the "founding mothers" of the Industrial Institute and College along with Olivia Hastings and Sally Reneau. Annie was born in Madison County, Mississippi and graduated from Whitworth College in 1872. She then married Chancellor Ephraim Geoffrey Peyton of Gallatin, Mississippi, moving to Hazelhurst. She began agitating for the founding of a state-supported girls for white girls in 1880 by writing to various newspapers under the pseudonym "A Mississippi Woman." She first attempted to convince the state to purchase Whitworth College, but after that plan failed she coordinated with Olivia Hastings and with the Hon. John McCaleb Martin of Port Gibson to pass a bill in the legislature in 1884 creating the Industrial Institute and College. After the opening of the school, Annie Peyton was hired in 1891 as an instructor in History, which she continued until her death in 1898. After her death, Peyton became the first woman inducted into the Mississippi Hall of Fame, with her portrait hanging in the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson. Mary Lou Peyton (1881-1959), II&C class of 1916, is the daughter of Annie Coleman Peyton. She was an instructor in History at MSCW from 1938-1945. Ephraim Geoffrey Peyton, Jr.
