Living and Playing the Blues on Dockery Plantation-Farms

James W. Swinnich

This history of the Dockery Plantation-Farms encompasses from the 1890s through this very day. Thousands of black laborers and their families, until mechanization, defined the National Register of Historic Places site. Did the plantation witness the "birth of the blues?" Who besides Charley Patton was involved? Under what conditions did the place become an economic juggernaut and a site for blues music?
