On This Day In...
July 30th - Major Frank Peck of the 12th Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers arrives in Pearlington and finds the people there "in great destitution and beset by plunderers on every side". He later reports the entire coast to be on the verge of starvation, and "in every way miserable".
July 30th - A stock ordinance is adopted by the city of Bay St. Louis, and cattle is no longer allowed to roam the streets. Not only were they considered a traffic hazard, cows especially were smart enough to open almost any gate latch to graze – and destroy - private gardens.
