Author Paul Jackson Jr.'s roots begin in Amite County, Mississipppi, where he was born. His family moved to Clinton, Louisiana, twenty-five miles south of Liberty, Mississippi, just as World War II ended. In Amite County, he offers an anthology, a format of mini chapters, each one a vignette or story in itself of his ancestors' journey.

This memoir traces his Jackson and Kinabrew ancestors in Liberty and McLean, Toler and McLain ancestors in Gloster, both towns in Amite County, Mississippi. The Jackson family narrative begins with Jackson's great, great, great grandfather Isaac and his brother serving with Francis Marion in the Revolutionary War and ends with the author's participation in the Vietnam War.

Jackson's stories are backed with information gleaned from letters his father wrote while serving in World War II and his own from Vietnam. With photos included, Amite County offers a historical look into one family's origins and presents the stories of their lives.
