‘BAY ST. LOUIS STORY’ is based on historical outline and slight change3 have been made to meet demands of staging and for dramatic effects.
This is the Bay St. Louis and Hancock County Story. An epic of a tidal wave of freedom loving men and women sweeping on to a new world, rich with die natural resources beyond the dreams of the ages. Over the mighty seas in frail ships—through the timberlands and along the heartbreaking trails the pioneers came.
NARRATORS: Izelda Ling, Rudy Vorbusch, Phil Allison, Ben Wood, Cleta Kay Miller, Father Adrian Mercier.
