Ser Seshs Ab Heter C.M. Boxley on Cover of New Book about Natchez

Deepest props to Ser Seshs for his years of work on Forks of the Road, and congratulations on the striking portrait on this new book by Richard Grant and Greg Iles.  Cover photo was by Nicola Lo Calzo.

 From the Natchez Democrat, 

The British journalist and author describes the book as an equal mixture of Natchez past and present.

“It is about my impressions of Natchez now, interwoven with sections about its history,” Grant said.

Grant said the book touches on a wide range of historical subjects, including the town’s garden clubs and their accompanying feuds, the annual Spring Pilgrimage and its Tableaux, the infamous Goat Castle murder and the story of Prince Ibrahima, a West African prince who was enslaved in Natchez, later gained his freedom and returned to Africa.
