Tippah County received its Chickasaw name as one of the 10 original counties formed from the Chickasaw Session of 1832. Ripley, the county seat, was named in honor of Gen. Eleazar Wheelock Ripley, a Congressional Gold Medal holder and War of 1812 hero. As is typical of many early Southern settlements, Ripley was built in the form of a square with a courthouse as its center. The first railroad was chartered in 1859 but was not completed until after the Civil War in 1871. The railroad was owned by Col. William C. Falkner, the great-grandfather of Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner, who also lived in Ripley as a child. The county averages more than 30,000 visitors per month who visit the 50-acre traders location. The market has never missed a First Monday weekend since it began on July 4, 1893. The county is very proud of its past and excited about its future.

This fast-paced memoir was written in 1905 by 61-year-old Samuel W. Hankins while he was living in the Soldiers Home in Gulfport, Mississippi. It vividly details his years as a Confederate rifleman from the spring of 1861, when at a mere sixteen years of age he volunteered for the 2d Mississippi Infantry, through the end of the war in 1865, when he was just twenty years old and maimed for life. The 2d Mississippi was part of the Army of Northern Virginia and as such saw action at Bull Run/Manassas, Seven Pines and the Peninsular Campaign, and Gettysburg.

"Here is a story of the Mississippi River South in its great days of the steamboat era, by one of its most distinguished citizens. Colonel Falkner, great-grandfather of William Faulkner, Nobel-prize novelist of our time, was a plantation owner, railroad builder, Civil War hero, writer and founder of schools. The White Rose of Memphis, first published in 1881, was the Gone with the Wind of that period; edition after edition kept appearing until about the time of World War I, when it went out of print; since then it has been unobtainable and legendary."--Publishers's description
