Old Natchez Trace
Photographer: Sandra Hughes
Taken: October 22, 2013
Caption: Old Natchez Trace
Additional Description: The mail - the military muscle - that kept the isolated Natchez district bound to the Union, passed along these ruts. In 1801 the loose chain of Indian trails was made a post road, vital to communications, defense, commence, and settlement. By 1890, steamboats made upstream travel practical, and the Trace fell into disuse.
