Italian immigrants who came to work on the Percy plantation across the river from Greenville in the late 1800s were photographed by Delta photographer Coovert at Sunny Side Landing, Ark. The photo is from the Old Court House Museum collection.
Historic photos taken in and around Vicksburg are featured on Sundays in The Vicksburg Post. Many of the photos are from the J. Mack Moore Collection at the Old Court House Museum. Though not all photos were taken by Mr. Moore, they are part of the collection given to the museum by longtime Vicksburg Post managing editor Charles J. Faulk. Appropriate photos from the public will also be accepted and published. To submit a photo, contact Karen Gamble at 636-4545.
