Heir to one of the great Mississippi planter fortunes, William Alexander Percy (1885-1942) is perhaps best known for his autobiographical LANTERNS ON THE LEVEE which is ripe with reminiscences of life in Greenville and the Mississippi Delta. However, Percy was also an accomplished poet, a graduate of Harvard Law School, a World War I veteran, and second cousin and adoptive father of novelist-essayist Walker Percy.
