Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The countryside between Mobile and New Orleans teems with memorials, but few historic spots occasion pause for reflection like the Old Biloxi Cemetery. Burials go back to the eighteenth-century French settlement, when Biloxi was the planned capital of the Louisiana territory. Secrets abound in the old cemetery--not exactly buried, since many prominent inhabitants sealed unsolved mysteries with their final remains in the aboveground tombs developed here. Author John Cuevas explores the fascinating history of the cemetery, including the massive restoration of the iconic resting place of his ancestor Juan de Cuevas, great-grandfather to more than nine thousand Gulf Coast families.

Download or read book Biloxi: A Novel written by Mary Miller and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Miller seizes the mantle of southern literature with Biloxi, a tender, gritty tale of middle age and the unexpected turns a life can take. Building on her critically acclaimed novel The Last Days of California and her biting collection Always Happy Hour, Miller transports readers to this delightfully wry, unapologetic corner of the south—Biloxi, Mississippi, home to sixty-three-year-old Louis McDonald, Jr. Louis has been forlorn since his wife of thirty-seven years left him, his father passed, and he impulsively retired from his job in anticipation of an inheritance check that may not come. These days he watches reality television and tries to avoid his ex-wife and daughter, benefiting from the charity of his former brother-in-law, Frank, who religiously brings over his Chili’s leftovers and always stays for a beer. Yet the past is no predictor of Louis’s future. On a routine trip to Walgreens to pick up his diabetes medication, he stops at a sign advertising free dogs and meets Harry Davidson, a man who claims to have more than a dozen canines on offer, but offers only one: an overweight mixed breed named Layla. Without any rational explanation, Louis feels compelled to take the dog home, and the two become inseparable. Louis, more than anyone, is dumbfounded to find himself in love—bursting into song with improvised jingles, exploring new locales, and reevaluating what he once considered the fixed horizons of his life. With her “sociologist’s eye for the mundane and revealing” (Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books), Miller populates the Gulf Coast with Ann Beattie-like characters. A strangely heartwarming tale of loneliness, masculinity, and the limitations of each, Biloxi confirms Miller’s position as one of our most gifted and perceptive writers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Biloxi, the First Settlement in Mississippi: An Address Delivered at the Dedication of a Monument, Commemorating the Settlement of Old Biloxi and Fort Maurepas, April 8, 1920 To the Daughters of the American Revolution of this State I wish to say that I congratulate you on your loving, well di rected and effective efforts to keep alive in the hearts of this and future generations the deepest veneration for the patriot soldier of the American Revolution and for his great history. This has been your primary purpose, but you have not been unmindful of other historical activities. Your Society is the pioneer in the work of marking early historical sites in Mississippi. You have been busy in erecting memorials to commemorate the notable events in our history from the Tennessee line to these blue Gulf waters. Through your efforts travelers can follow the first great trail that brought us much of our early population, and we thank you in the name of the Historical Society for this evidence of your devotion to the high ideals that have placed us among the leading civilizations of the world.territory, according to the best authorities, covered that part of North America bounded on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, on the east by Carolina and part of Canada, on the west by New Mexico, on the north in part by Canada and extending as far as the unknown lands on Hudson Bay. It is no small honor to have been the seat of government of such a vast empire known as the Province of Louisiana which is sometimes referred to as Ancient Louisiana. It was often, too, in that far distant day called the Mississippi Country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Biloxi's beaches and casinos make the city a haven for Gulf Coast tourists. And since it's one of America's oldest communities, local residents have seen many iconic treasures come and go. Before Hurricane Katrina, more than 150 historical structures dotted the area. Of those, 60 were lost to the devastating storm, including the Father Ryan House, built in the early 1840s. In 1969, Hurricane Camille flattened the Baldwin Wood Lighthouse. Other structures like Biloxi City Hall on Main Street faded away with the passage of time, having stood resolute for decades. Author Edmond Boudreaux recalls Biloxi's most significant and cherished landmarks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover more about Biloxi’s proud history as a maritime marvel and leader in America’s seafood industry. Predating even colonial America, Biloxi was established for its welcoming gulf shore both a home for traders and a beacon for explorers of the mainland. Geography made Biloxi a historic maritime hub of trade and travel; the seafood industry made it a vibrant, thriving community. Thanks to the efforts of a variety of diverse ethnic groups, Biloxi was dubbed the “Seafood Capital of the World” at the turn of the century. By the 1920s, there were more than forty seafood factories occupying two bustling cannery districts. Cajuns with deep ties to the region, industrious Croatian immigrants and hardworking Vietnamese émigrés all contributed to Biloxi’s seafood industry. Through the Civil War, devastating hurricanes and shifting economies, these hard-fishing families have endured, building Biloxi and forming its character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mississippi Territory has held a unique and fascinating place in history, dating one hundred fifty years before the Revolutionary War. It had one of the earliest settlements in America. Norsemen likely visited the Mississippi Territory as early as 1000 A.D. The Mississippi Territory was raw frontier, sparked with the excitement of fortunes to be made in rich lands and business opportunities. These advantages induced many to become citizens of the old Southwest Territory. Also, many passed through the territory on their way westward to other new frontiers of excitement. France, Spain, and England fought over the riches the new territory had to offer, and each country in its time controlled the area and left the mark of its culture on the people. Large farming and business empires were created in the territory, and some people became extremely rich. Before the Civil War, Mississippi, with a population of only 791,305 people, was numbered the fourth wealthiest state of the United States. The Mississippi Territory was a cotton kingdom where fortunes were made overnight. Gamblers who were attracted to the wealth of the Mississippi appeared, as did terrorists who preyed on travelers on the famous Natchez Trace. Mississippi has throughout the years furnished gallant, indomitable, military leaders, along with great distinguished orators and statesmen whose contributions have been inestimable to the occasions o f which they were a part." -from the Preface This intriguing history takes readers from the days of the early Indian governors through the 1970s.

Download or read book From Acid to the Body of Christ written by Daxx Danzig and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December of 2008, the true meaning of life, religion, and the enmeshed perceptions of a modern altered state analysis were finally documented. This contemplation of God and reality, linked with the help of nature, is nothing new. History is replete with efforts to achieve the human goal of bridging the gap between man and deity. Where is God? Is bilateral communication only upon achieving a level of consciousness higher than the self-awareness Maslow opines? The author's findings are less conclusive than enlightening, the consummation not near significant as the journey itself. "FROM ACID TO THE BODY OF CHRIST" was previewed and critiqued by a random group of published authors, aspiring writers, and avid readers from all over the world. The resulting commentaries are of no surprise. Take a "trip" through the mind of Daxx Danzig. Then decide for yourself. "The book is so amazing that I don't have the words to explain how surpassing it is in every sense. You are the Gandalf of the written word, weaving effortless spells that leave me stunned, spellbound, and completely under your command." "I was enthralled by the brilliantly placed pop-culture references. I was also quite struck by the writing style in general; frenetic while on LSD, reflective when meeting God. It's like a Baroque composition that changes in pace depending on the mood conveyed. Trippy, surreal, and hilarious " "You may have begun an entirely new literary genre. Tell me Daxx Danzig has a professional background in psychology and this is a meshing of case studies from his patients (Or could he simply be a dark twisted genius with that many quirks and afflictions?)" "Your huge following will be cult-like soon This is art This is phenomenal and you have captured the pen of a generation An amazing and cerebral odyssey Anyone got Quentin Tarantino's number?" "The level of which you write is embedded in all of us. The problem is that most of us are unable to access that level of thinking. Clearly, people of political correctness (insecurity) will damn the book and deem it impossible to comprehend. However, intelligent readers will see through the words and easily acknowledge the glaring truth of your writing. The book is not for the casual reader as it compels one to delve into a part of us that many wish to avoid. I fear this brilliant work of art will prove too bright for the hypocrite who wishes to remain in a safe, pretend world instead of opening their mind and exploring the true human psyche. The play of words and their adoption to the author's real life through the eyes of this man is worthy of adjectives not yet created. It is simply a deep and real peek into our minds and how one small act can cause a lifetime of intrepid experiences, mostly from the inner self. I am reading it again for the second time and daresay it will require many more readings to glean the necessary conveyances to appreciate." "In a span of two weeks I saw TOOL perform live and read From Acid to the Body of Christ. My life is now complete "THE most disturbing, yet inspiring story I've ever read, and I mean that in the most epic sense Sort of like the proverbial train wreck that you gawk at in disbelief A must read for anyone suffering from panic attacks and agoraphobia." "This is part Fear and Loathing, Psychology Journal, The New Yorker, Headbanger's Ball, Catcher in the Rye, beat poet, and Beavis & Butthead meets Ignatius J. Reilly Not sure if it's religious, self-help or just the male version of Bridget Jones Diary (with little raisin-like testicles ) Very eclectic and smart " "A dark comedic nose snub at the "normal" society. I laughed so hard I lost my mood ring, shattered a lava lamp, and scratched my In-a gadda-da-vida album Wonderfully Gonzo www.daxxdanzig.com
