Summary
In "Delta Country:, Richard Dillon gives the first historical overview of this timeless land: from the days of the Indians and early exploreres, to settlement of this wild swampland and development of today's agribusiness. The uncertain future of thisunique and fragile area is also considered. <p>The powerful images of photographer Steve Simmons capture the Delta as it is, while relecting its past: the old river mansions, the abandoned piers, ghost towns, tree-lined sloughs, fields, and orchards. </p><p>
