I didn't realize there were camps established in Drew County during the 1927 flood. I found an article that said there was a camp for black folks and another one for white folks.
I don't know specifically, but I imagine they were in the hills above Bayou Bartholomew. Collins, Selma, etc. > Does anyone know where these camps were located in Monticello?

My parents lived at Halley in Desha County when the 1927 flood occured. I don't know where they relocated to during the flood, but I have my mother's singer sewing machine that went through the flood. It still works. C.L.
