For years one of Natchez's most notable characters was a madam named Nellie Jackson. Her story is funny and tragic, and Nellie is greatly missed in our little river town. You can read about her here.

IT was an honor to have met and known Nellie Jackson where I grew up in Natchez Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteDear Kevin Curtis
ReplyDeleteMy name is Sylia Francis and I am a play wright and currently living in Ohio.
I am desperately seeking people who might have known Nellie Jackson.
I am currently writing a play about her and would like the opportunity to speak to someone who might have known her.
I am very sincere and see her as a very heroic and amazing woman.
Any chance you might allow me to speak to you?
