'Hidden History of Natchez'

STARKVILLE, Miss. - A fourth book in the Mississippi “Hidden History” series has been published. Joshua K. Foreman, an instructor in Mississippi State University’s communication department, released the “Hidden History of Natchez” with Ryan Starrett, a fellow Jackson native and Foreman’s childhood friend. The History Press series details mysteries from the Deep South and explores early Mississippians’ storylines few have heard about. "Natchez’s history is so unique that it begs to be written about,” Foreman said. Natchez was the grand village of the Natchez Indians, a French fortress, British trading hub, target of American pirates, and a prize of the Spanish, all before it became part of Mississippi. Foreman and Starrett are planning future books about the larger Natchez Trace area, the Mississippi Delta and North Mississippi regions.
