William Faulkner: His Tippah County Heritage by Jane Isbell Haynes

This book traces Falkner and Murry family roots in Tippah County, Mississippi. It makes the case that parts of Flags in the Dust and The Sound and the Fury are based more in Ripley than in Oxford. Appended to the end is a memoir by a woman who is part of the family whose son WC Falkner shot before the Civil War. There are great pictures, but overall, only worth reading if you're interested in tracing Faulkner's Mississippi roots.
