Hovering
over it all is history, evoked in the words scrawled on a
makeshift grave marker: "Gone but not forgotten."

Delta Land is a photographic project which
involves the recording and
preservation of Mississippi Delta landscape and its rapidly disappearing
indigenous structures: mule barns, field churches, cotton gins,
commissaries, crossroads stores, tenant houses,
cypress sheds, and railroad stations.
Although many acclaimed photographers have focused their cameras on
the Mississippi Delta, no photographer, until now, has attempted to produce
an interpretation of the land itself. The images in this book, the work of
Maude Schuyler Clay, are the result of that undertaking.
