Ole Miss at Oxford
The Grove. The Square. Hotty
Toddy.
Taylor
Grocery. Red and Blue. Square Books.
These are words that are
evocative of a specific place and feeling---Ole Miss at
Oxford. And in this new book by William H.
Morris, Jr., there are photographs that will stir memories of lazy afternoons
in the Grove or strolling in the Square and will stimulate the senses with the
action of the football games played in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and the
bustling
Oxford
scene. This book is a collection of approximately 300 beautiful
photographs spanning more than twenty years of life at Ole Miss and in
Oxford. Through this
book, Bill takes us on a wonderful meandering path through the graceful town of
Oxford, home to many true literary greats, one
of the oldest department stores in the
U.S., and one of the nation’s
greatest bookstores. We journey to the Grove for gatherings of food, fun, and
fellowship before the big game, and they are all big games. The excitement is
almost tangible as the players burst onto the field before crowds of
enthusiastic fans ready to see the Rebels play football. Then, it’s back to the
Grove for celebrations that are heightened or commiserations that are lessened
by the sharing of them with family and friends. We travel back to town and
encounter parades, festivals, and nightlife. These photographs become a record
and provide a means for us to see people and places that are no longer, because
Bill Morris took the time to see and to photograph.
Bill Morris has captured the
essence of this very special place in the spectacular photographs included in
this book to be shared by all. This book is a true “Welcome to Ole Miss and
Oxford,” as a banner over
Neilson’s reads in a photograph early in the book. Buy the book to begin
your journey.
