| 520 | |a In Delta Empire Jeannie Whayne employs the fascinating history of a powerful plantation owner in the Arkansas delta to recount the evolution of southern agriculture from the late nineteenth century through World War II. From a small inheritance, Robert E. "Lee" Wilson built a 50,000-acre lumbering and cotton plantation in Mississippi County, Arkansas. From early on, Wilson saw an opportunity in the swampy terrain, which sold for as little as fifty cents an acre, to build a lumber business that met the region's growing need for lumber. This foresight provided the foundation for his vast agricultural empire he envisioned. | ||
