PRICHARD AND CONTRIBUTOR WILLIE MORRIS. 276 pages. Oblong paperback: H 24cm x L 25.25cm. Color pictorial covers illustrated by Dunlap rubbed. Some soiling to bottom edge.

Interior pages are otherwise bright and clean. Binding retains some crispness. A very good+ copy.

Dunn, Preface by Jo G. Prichard, "People Who Served," References (bibliography), Index, and "Photography and Art Credits." Reviews the history of Yazoo City, Mississippi-based Mississippi Chemical Corp. in rosier times and features nine chapters within four parts, the latter titled as follows: "The Place, The People, and the Vision," "Expanding Horizons," "Rising to the Challenges," and "The World Beyond."
