The rags-to-riches story of Tupelo, Mississippi, has been documented from a historical point of view by Vaughn Grisham in Tupelo: The Evolution of a Community. This Kettering Foundation report examines the phenomenon through anecdotes and stories told by the Tupelo citizens—many of them in their 70s and 80s—who spearheaded the civic and economic revival of the town.
