| DELTALOGY
Deltalogy? Yes, and as far as we know, we invented the term, deltalogy (some wordsmiths want to spell it deltaology but it's our word and we can spell it the way we say it). We needed a catch-all word to describe the growing category of nonfiction and fiction books about the Mississippi Delta or by Deltans.
| 
| | Greenville's own David Cohn wrote in his book, God Shakes Creation (1935), "the Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg." This flat, fertile, alluvial expanse extending fifty miles east from the Mighty Mississippi to the Yazoo River, running from its northern point along the bluffs of Memphis, one hundred fifty miles south to the hills of Vicksburg is the land of the Delta. |  PHOTO: BECKY WATTS | From ancient mound builders to blues culture, and the rise and fall of the rivers, and from agri-business to casino gaming, the Delta continues to capture the attention and imagination of folks around the world. |
The Delta is a place; a melting pot of people; a mythology and a reality. And we need a word for it all: deltalogy.

To see a five minute video of vintage footage from the Great Flood of 1927 produced by the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, click on Master of Emergencies.
The download time is lengthy but worth it. We recognize most of the footage as being from Washington County, including the break at Mound Landing and a shot of Will Percy with V.P. Herbert Hoover.
