Books-A-Million to Host Book Signing for Lost Biloxi on October 25th

BILOXI, Miss. - Oct. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Books-A-Million to Host Book Signing for Lost Biloxi

Local author, Edmond Boudreaux, will be available to sign copies of book

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.

Highlights from Lost Biloxi include:

• The images of Lost Biloxi are a combination of private local collections and personal pictures.
• The book is a collection of select stories of historic structures and iconic businesses that made Biloxi a historic city.
• Hurricanes and time have attempted to destroy our past by destroying historical structures that had become the fabric of our lives. Our history is more than buildings it is what gives us a sense of place.
