Edwards began as a plantation settlement which became known as Edwards Depot when the Alabama and Vicksburg Railroad came in 1839. The depot was burned in 1863 by the Union army. The present town of Edwards was incorporated in 1871. Freight trains still pass through, but no longer stop.
In December 2007 I spent a winter's afternoon in Edwards. There was not a cloud in the sky and the winter sun was bright. This week we will look at a couple of pictures taken in Edwards by Walker Evans in 1936 as well as some of the photos I took on that quiet Sunday.
Walker Evans is one of my favourites. Looking forward to yours and his photos.
