For over eighty years, tourists have flocked to Natchez, Mississippi, seeking the "Old South," but what they encounter is invention: a pageant and rewrite of history first concocted during the Great Depression. Heritage and Hoop Skirts reveals how the women of the Natchez Garden Club saved their city, created one of the first cultural tourism economies in the US, changed the landscape through historic preservation, and fashioned elements of the Lost Cause into an industry.
