    That's definitely the same location as the other photos, but I don't know which town it's near. That's the same small child in all the pictures -- orange shirt with a double white stripe at the sleeve; here he has his hat off.

    Google maps shows Mileston, Mississippi to be Southwest of Tchula on 49 and Marcella close by. Marion Post Wolcott, photographer, also took shots in Merigold, Leland, Belzoni, and Perthshire, which is on highway 1 between Rena Lura and Rosedale.

    I wish these people could be identified. I'd really like to know how their lives turned out, especially the little boy.

    I am interested in writing a book (a historical novel) about slavery and Harriet Tubman. May I please use this photograph in my book, please? Of course, you will be named with the photograph! Looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you and have a blessed day!

    To the seeker without frontiers: The picture has the status of “no known copyright restrictions,” in this case because the photo was made by the U.S. federal government, which are not eligible for U.S. copyright protection. You can find out more about the “no known copyright restrictions” status on this Flickr page: www.flickr.com/commons/usage/. We also offer information in our rights overview, “Copyright and Other Restrictions That Apply to Publication/Distribution of Images: Assessing the Risk of Using a P&P Image”—sometimes there are other types of rights to consider, in addition to copyright so best to review this as well. The Library of Congress is generally not in a position to grant or deny permission to publish images from its holdings because in most cases it does not hold rights to the images.

    Once in Arkansas, my father stopped the car, led me out to a field like this, showed me how to pick a boll of cotton and said "Now that's the LAST time I ever want to see you do this." I was probably 3 or 4 years old.

    Your father was a nutjob.
