Founded by William
Hardy at the confluence of rivers and rail lines, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is
today a capital of education, healthcare, commerce and the armed forces in the
Gulf South. In this new biography of the Hub City, experience its story as you
never have before. Hunt and forage alongside Native American tribes centuries
before European settlement. Build a cabin with pioneer lumbermen on the edge of
the forest, jostling for profit in the cavernous Piney Woods. Train with
soldiers at Camp Shelby on the eve of deployment in World War II, and march
alongside civil rights activists during Freedom Summer in 1964. In this
narrative history, author and Hattiesburg native Benjamin Morris offers a
captivating account of the Hub City from its prehistory to the present day,
from its darkest hours to its brightest futures.
