Iowa State College landscape architecture professor Philip H. Elwood took students on a tour of the southern and eastern United States in 1931.

From there they travel to Hot Springs National Park, the Ozarks in Arkansas, and then Natchez, Mississippi, where they see the old rear-wheel riverboat Tennessee Belle unloading flour sacks. In Natchez they also view old homes and gardens, as well as crepe myrtle in bloom on lower slopes along the river and streets. Annotation: Video made from original 16 mm film.
