Grenada County was created from lands ceded from the Choctaw Indians in 1833, even though the county was not officially created until the 1870's. It sits in the North Central portion of the State and is surrounded by the counties of: Calhoun, Carroll, Leflore, Montgomery, Sumner/Webster, Tallahatchie, and Yalobusha. The scarcity of this book alone should make this book a MUST for anyone who is interested in or who has family connections to the State of Mississippi. This history is designed to make available to the people of this area historical information which is now found only in the pages of old newspapers, land deeds, records, wills, personal letters, and similar written sources. The New index that was prepared for this volume contains the names of approximately 2,000 persons.
