Daily dose of Americana: This is a book of photographs that chronicle the Civil War as it is lived today in our Deep South - the decaying Doric columns, the plantations turned to ruin. It is heartbreaking and enormously beautiful all at once. Published in honor of the Sesquicentennial of the War Between the States; the anniversary began on April 12 of this year. All photography by my mother’s dear friend Nell Dickerson. Nell is an architect, a Hollywood set designer, and a fourth-generation cotton farmer with ties to her families ancestral land in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. View a preview of GONE here.
