|
Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast is one of the Travel Books for United States of America authored by Jim Fraiser and published by Pelican Publication Company. The hundred and four pages of this book document the history, culture and historical landmarks of the Mississippi Gulf Coast ranging from Biloxi’s Beauvoir, the last residence of Confederate president Jefferson Davis to the Gulfport’s Dantzler House. The authors of Vanished Mississippi Gulf were still in the process of photographing the Mississippi Gulf Coast till the day before Hurricane Katrina’s thirty five foot tall tidal wave wiped away three hundred years of the Gulf Coast’s history.

The tidal wave washed away a number of antebellum and other historic structures on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast is an attempt by author Jim Fraiser and photographer Rick Guy to preserve the Gulf Coast’s history, culture, and architecture.
The Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast offers a vivid picture of three hundred years of the history of the Gulf Coast. The authors have done a great job in paying homage to the coastal landmarks that formerly lined the beach highways and transported visitors to past eras of unparalleled luxury. The contents of Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast include 142 color photographs of what existed before and after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. The descriptions and photographs in the book offer the readers a vivid picture of the rich culture and history of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The architectural splendors of various landmarks are well demonstrated through the well photographed pictures by Rick Guy. Unlike other world travel books, the Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast is more of a historical account than a travel guide.
The Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast is an excellent book for those who like to know about past culture and civilizations. The author of this book Jim Fraiser has also authored several other books on Mississippi. Those include The Majesty of Eastern Mississippi and the Coast Mississippi River Country Tales and The Majesty of the Mississippi Delta. Jim Fraiser was inspired to write the Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast because he has always admired the spirit of the Gulf Coast inhabitants, who survived three major wars, plague, as well as several destructive hurricanes. Apart from writing books Fraiser is also a practicing attorney with the law firm of Page, Peresich, Mannino, and McDermott in Jackson, Mississippi.
The Vanished Mississippi Gulf Coast is available for purchase online through amazon.com and other websites.
