The small towns that line the stretch of the river between New Roads and Natchez—the upper-lower Mississippi, one might say—are noted for small-town charm and Southern hospitality, but don't let the graces and good manners fool you. These people can party almost as hard as those flat-land Cajuns—particularly when the theme is patriotic.
