As part of a series of regional bibliographies of reading materials, this book presents an annotated list of materials focusing on state and regional history for Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Following a brief history about the lower Mississippi Delta region, the book annotates approximately three hundred books, arranged by state and then listed alphabetically by author, within each of five broad categories: fiction; folktales; poetry, drama, and music; biography and personal accounts; and other informational books. This publication also provides (1) an author-title key, arranged by state and category, to the books listed that cites the reading level of each title; and (2) an author-title-subject index. (DF)
