Bay St Louis Book Review

I wish to thank Charles Templeton for his review on one of my books.

The esoteric histories being researched and printed are not only interesting but entertaining and Dan Ellis has become a master of this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed my read and plan to to read all of Dan's books about this area and about Eureka Springs, AR. Dan has certainly done his research on a micro level, using interviews with locals, court documents, and the earliest records he could obtain. Dan engages the reader with his history and provides maps, drawings and pictures to make you feel a part of a unique historical environment. Those who love early architecture as a geographical indicator of cultural relevance will be enthralled by his discussion of the earliest churches in the area. Whether you are from the area, plan on visiting the area, or just plain love history, then this book is a must read.
