| Description: |
Interview conducted on February 26, 1974 with Mr. Brodie Crump at his home in Greenville, Mississippi. Crump was born in 1898 in Greenville, Mississippi. After attending Mississippi A&M College, now Mississippi State University, Crump began his business career as a cotton broker. General A. G. Paxton, commanding officer of the Dixie Division, a National Guard unit, was one of the more important buyers in the Greenville area. After retiring to his land in the 1940's, he began writing a column, "Mostly Old Stuff" for the Delta Democrat-Times after the Carter family bought out this newspaper. Both his newspaper column and his recollections in this oral history detail the past scenes of over half a century of Greenville, a Mississippi River town.
