I am very grateful to Robert and Kathy Prospere and Joseph “Smokye” and Carol Frank for generously loaning me their point collections; without these collections, my research would not be possible. I would also like to thank Steve Davis, Patricia McAnany, Brett Riggs, Laurie Steponaitis, David Cranford, Erin Stevens Nelson, and all those in the Research Laboratories of Archaeology who have helped me throughout the years. I am also indebted to Samuel Brookes, Mallory Melton, George Bates, David T. Dockery III, Jay Johnson, Ronnie Wise, and James Earl and Crystal McManus. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their constant encouragement, help, and for always believing in me. i Contents Contents

Five stratigraphic sections in Grenada County were measured and described. Twenty-one sand and sandstone samples, and 2 mud samples were collected from all sections. Textural analyses were performed on all 23 samples to determine their lithologic properties. Petrographic descriptions and modal analyses were performed on thin sections made from the 21 sand and sandstone samples, and 400 grains were point counted in each sample.

We recommend that these papers be published collectively as Bulletin 104 entitled, "Mississippi Geologic Research Papers-1964." This bulletin is the third of the series bearing similar titles, but, unlike the 1962 and 1963 bulletins, there was no contest involved in preparation of these latest research studies.

  • The Geology of Mississippi
    The Geology of Mississippi David T. Dockery III and David E. Thompson Foreword by Governor Phil Bryant The Geology of Mississippi is an encyclopedic work by authors with extensive experience in Mississippi’s surface geology mapping program. It brings together published work, unpublished work from agency files, and the authors’ experience, both in personal field work and in collaboration with experts from around the word. With over a thousand images, the voluminous text relates ways in which Mississippi’s geology has contributed to the understanding of global events, such as the extinction of the dinosaurs and the first occurrence of tiny pri- mates. Fossil illustrations include Devonian trilobites, Mississippian scale trees, Pennsylvanian brachiopods, Creta- ceous dinosaur bones, Paleocene lignite and petrified wood, Eocene seashells and the excavation of fossil whales, Oligocene marine fossils and rare land mammal finds, Miocene plants and animals, Paleozoic marine fossils, and the bones of giant ice-age mammals. The text is arranged by geologic age. Economic minerals cited in the book include oil and gas (both methane and carbon dioxide), lignite, dimen- sion stone, crushed stone, sand and gravel, various clay deposits, limestone, and potential economic deposits of bauxite, heavy minerals, and iron ore. Groundwater is Mississippi’s most valuable natural resource and supplies over The first comprehensive 90 percent of the state’s public and industrial water supply and most of the state’s irrigation supply for agriculture treatment of the state’s and catfish ponds. Mississippi’s surface geology causes the state’s fertile and not-so-fertile soil types responsible for foundation and infrastructure substrates that range from stable to failure-prone due to expansive clays.

  • Town and Country in the Old South : Vicksburg and Warren County, Mississippi, 1770-1860
    TOWN AND COUNTRY IN THE OLD SOUTH: VICKSBURG AND WARREN COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, 1770-1860 By CHRISTOPHER CHARLES MORRIS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1991 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am pleased to acknowledge the assistance and encouragement of a number of people, and to thank them for their kindness. Sam Hill and Helen Hill gave me a place to stay when I made my first visit to Jackson. At Vicksburg the staff at the Old Court House Museum received me with open arms. Gordon Cotton's and Blanche Terry's knowledge of Warren County history and of the local documents proved invaluable. The staff at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History was always helpful. In particular I want to thank Anne Lipscombe. Alison Beck, of the Barker Texas History Center at the University of Texas, helped me wade through much of the as yet largely uncatalogued Natchez Trace Collection. She brought several important documents to my attention that I never could have found on my own. Several people in Vicksburg and Warren County took an interest in my work and helped me to discover their past. Special thanks go to Dee and John Leigh Hyland for being so forthcoming with their family history. Two other local researchers gave me the benefit of their experience. Clinton Bagley guided me through the records in the Adams County Courthouse in Natchez, and Charles L. Sullivan helped me find my way through the massive Claiborne Collection in the ii Mississippi Department of Archives and history.
