This book makes history come alive!
This historical volume has been extremely well-researched, well-documented, and well-written. It is an excellent resource for history aficionados, especially those with a focus on Mississippi and Louisiana.

too many mistakes.
Nothing against Mr.Ambrose,but this book is filled with mistakes.There are books published locally that are better researched.When speaking about the the movie filmed here"This Property is Condemned",he couldn't even get the name right.The book is written in such a way that one can tell that research was lacking.Save your money and do your own research.

This review is from: Louisiana's Loss, Mississippi's Gain; the history of Hancock County, Mississippi: From the Stone Age to the Space Age (Hardcover)
This historical volume has been extremely well-researched, well-documented, and well-written. It is an excellent resource for history aficionados, especially those with a focus on Mississippi and Louisiana. It describes the people, places, and events that shaped Hancock County, Mississippi -- on the Gulf Coast -- from prehistoric times to the present.There are countless interesting (and very descriptive) stories contained in the book; the author's writing style makes you feel like you were there -- this isn't just a "dry" history book. The people and places really come alive through the well-chosen words. After reading the book and then visiting Mississippi and Hancock County for the first time, I felt like I was already in familiar territory!

This is a wonderful book. It is filled with great stories backed up with referances about Hancock Co.(surrounding counties too) and those who helped make it what it is today. Great for geneology work too.
