Used Book in Good Condition
So, many moons ago I bought this vegetarian cookbook "Cookin' Southern: Vegetarian Style" on a whim. It's a really sweet book with all the Southern favourites made with substitutes like tofu. Chicken-fried steak is in there, as is country ham.
It's a very personal, down-home style cookbook with a lot of chatting going on apart from the recipes themselves. I'm very fond of it, and it may help you recreate some of the old favourites! This is someone who REALLY loved the originals, not someone who's never tried them trying to make a dish that looks like ham or steak.

In terms of things like bacon for baked beans, you can look into liquid smoke for the flavour as an easy replacement, but there are also some really wonderful products out of Taiwan if you have access to any Asian importers in your city. I get mine from a place called Paradis Vegetarien, and they have a REALLY good steaky bacon. They also have a 'duck' product that comes in a loin shape, and I really think it's quite similar to ham as it's smoked. I sometimes dice that up small and use it instead of lardons.
Keep hunting :) There's some great stuff out there from the very basic that you use to craft your own artisan product, to the highly-processed and ready-to-eat (I have no problem with highly processed, myself, as long as it tastes good!) .
