... if you ... like me ... are mesmerized by the beauty and grace left behind by these magnificent structures, look out for "Ghosts Along The Mississippi" ... black and white photography of plantations, mansions, homes ... taken back by time and the elements. By Clarence John Laughlin, published by American Legacy Press, I have the 1987 edition. Originally published 1961. If you're familiar with ABE.com (Advanced Book Exchange) they have it ... here's a link: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=Clarence+John+Laughlin&sts=t&tn=Ghosts+Along+the+Mississippi&x=0&y=0
