description: Here is Natchez Trace today, as gripping and hauntingly beautiful as it has been for centuries, captured in photographs and words that bring alive a lush and mysterious landscape. A well-known trail long before nationhood, the 450-mile route linking Nashville, Tennessee, and Natchez, Mississippi, once played a vital role for the most adventuresome people. Exploring the Natchez Trace in these pages is a time trip through early natural and human influences in a region that withstood a rowdy and violent past to evolve into a national backbone. And nature covers it all---cataclysmic geological changes, wildlife, plant life, water, and seasonal changes. Writer/photographer Bert Gildart rewards readers by creating an authentic awareness of splendid, little-known places and spirited people sharing unique events along the Trace.
