Steed has done his homework, and he gives a lot of good info about history that has happened along the path. Each section gives you some general info, some of it ghoulish. Then, he gives some information about legends and hauntings.
Of course a lot of the sites are just creepy. There are land pirate crime scenes, places destroyed during the Civil War, unknown Confederate soldier grave sites, and gators!
He covers a lot of ground, starting in Natchez Mississippi and making his way north towards Nashville. He lets you know about some interesting towns along the Trace too, and ones that are a short drive away, but still worth your time to visit.
He covers the death of Meriwether Lewis nicely too, possibly the most well known and strange event to have occurred on the Natchez Trace.
The book is to the point and informative, making it an easy and enjoyable read.
