By Lee Green Pope I had been to Beauvoir many times in the past

By Lee Green Pope
I had been to Beauvoir many times in the past but this
was the first time since Katrina. As I drove up to the gate, I was happy to see the new white
picket fence. I drove in and parked under a tree and got out of the car. I decided to look around
a little on my own before I started the tour. After awhile I realized that I was looking at the empty
spaces of buildings that were no longer there. Buildings that had been destroyed by the storm
are now being temporarily replaced with trailers.
There were many men at work and the sounds of their heavy equipment machines filled the air.
The ten-year-old Jefferson Davis Presidential Library was being torn down. I learned that the
building could have been repaired, but since it was located in a flood zone, it will be rebuilt 150
feet to the west on higher ground at a 45 degree angle facing the Beauvoir house instead of the
Gulf. About a hundred yards to the west of where I was standing was the Beauvoir House. It
seemed to be shinning in the early afternoon sun like a sign of hope for the future rebuilding. I
was ready to start the tour.
I walked over to the Gift Shop that is housed along with the Katrina Damage Exhibit in two
FEMA trailers. Mr. Richard V. Forte, Sr. who is Chairman of the combined Boards of Beauvoir
met me there, and I was delighted to learn he would be my tour guide. “Rick” as he is known,
has been the acting director for two years and has been employed in various positions at
Beauvoir for the past twenty-eight years. He informed me that Beauvoir is a National Historic
Landmark and also a Mississippi Historic Landmark that is privately owned and managed by the
Mississippi Division, United Sons of Confederate Veterans. This historic site encompasses 51
acres of the original Beauvoir estate.
Several tourists joined us as we began the tour with the Katrina Damaged Artifacts Exhibit in the
trailers. After the storm, employees and volunteers spent 18 months searching the grounds for
anything they could find, and even today they continue to find artifacts from the museum.
Presently there is not enough room in the trailers to display all the damaged artifacts that were
found, but eventually there will be a special “Katrina Damaged Artifacts Exhibit” that will include
everything that was found.
For now, there are display cabinets in which everything from broken pieces of china to guns and
swords are displayed. It is remarkable to see a china teacup that survived and metal containers
that were smashed like accordions. In one display cabinet there was a dainty wristwatch that
was bent and rusty. In my imagination, I wondered if it might have been a gift from Jefferson
Davis to Mrs. Davis, and I pictured her smiling as he placed it on her wrist.
After viewing the exhibit, we left the trailers and walked about 100 yards down the pathway to
the Beauvoir House. Mr. Forte explained that from the first moment Jefferson Davis saw
Beauvoir he thought of it as a “writer’s” retreat and an ideal environment for his retirement. In
1879, fourteen years after the war, he bought the estate from his good friend Mrs. Sarah Dorsey
who had named the house “Beauvoir,” or “Beautiful View.” As we approached the house, I could
not help but think about the people who had lived there. It is a museum now, but at one time, it
was the Davis’ home with real people living in it. History tells us that this family experienced joys
and sorrows along with happiness and tragedy.
Jefferson Davis certainly had his share of tragedy. In 1832 while serving in the military under
Colonel Zachary Taylor (later to be President Taylor), he met and fell in love with Taylor’s
daughter, the lovely Sarah Knox Taylor. Her father reluctantly gave his blessing and they were
married in June of 1835. Three months later on a trip to Louisiana, both of the newlyweds
contracted malaria and consequently, Sarah died.
Davis was heartbroken, and although he thought he would never love again, ten years later he
met, and married the beautiful Varina Howell. They had six children, four boys and two girls,
Samuel Emory, Margaret Howell, Jefferson Davis, Jr., Joseph Evan, William Howell and Varina
Anne (Winnie). Sadly, the only child who lived in the house was Winnie. All four boys died
before he purchased the house and the oldest daughter Margaret had married two years earlier.
When we arrived at the house Mr. Richard F. Flowers,
the curator, met us on the veranda. I was impressed by his encyclopedic knowledge of Beauvoir
and equally so by his projection and enunciation. I envisioned him performing King Lear or
perhaps Julius Caesar. He explained that the outside of the house is complete but inside the
artwork is only 25 percent complete.
Historic artists were selected to paint the walls and ceilings as close to the original as possible
as evidenced by the scaffolding in the reception hall. Mr. Flowers called our attention to the
rounded corners and frescoed walls of the Reception Hall that were originally painted in the
Rococo style by a German artist. He explained that everything possible was being done to
replicate the paint, wood, furniture and furnishings to the original materials, colors and style.
The front parlor and the separate bedrooms for Jefferson Davis and Mrs. Davis were located on
the west side of the house. Of particular interest to me were the iron bathtubs in each of their
rooms. Mrs. Davis’ tub was bigger and nicer than her husband’s tub. He could only stand up in
his tub, but Mrs. Davis had the luxury of being able to sit down in hers.
As we walked through the house, I was particularly drawn to the back parlor that also served as
a library. I imagined President Davis working on one of his two-volume set of books, The Rise
and Fall of the Confederate Government. I pictured his fifteen year old daughter Winnie
approaching her father and saying, “Daddy, you’ve been working so hard. You need to stop and
rest for a few minutes. Why don’t you come out to the veranda and have a cup of tea with me?”
I was brought back to reality as we approached the dining room. The table was set as if the
family would be coming in to dinner at any minute. The Butler’s Pantry was located directly
behind the dining room and also served as the children’s dining room. Apparently, the children
were not permitted to sit with the grown ups until they had learned proper table manners and
were mature enough to be seen and not heard.
Mr. Flowers said that Mrs. Davis specified that the two front bedrooms be set-aside as
memorials to her two daughters, even though Margaret, the oldest daughter, was married and
had never lived there. My favorite room was the Winnie Davis Memorial Room. It looked like a
young girls’ room with the canopied bed, white curtains and bedspread, pink lamps, and
pictures. Every detail of the room was delicate and dainty.
I was especially drawn to the room because of what I had learned about Winnie. She was a
beautiful girl with a charming personality. She was named Varina Anne for her mother and was
the youngest of the six children. Winnie was a pet name that Davis had given both his wife and
daughter. It is said to be an Indian name meaning, “bright” or “sunny.” During the War, Winnie
was known throughout the south as the “Daughter of the Confederacy.”
Sometime during the 1880’s, she met Alfred C. Wilkinson, a Syracuse, New York attorney
whose grandfather had been a leading abolitionist. It was love at first sight for the both of them,
and they became engaged. Davis objected to the engagement but finally gave his approval;
however, Mrs. Davis, family, friends and even the veterans of the Civil War objected to the
“Yankee” fiancée. Their romance lasted five years, and then they ultimately gave in to public
outcry and broke up. Neither one ever married. I can’t help but believe that Winnie’s life story
would have made a great romance novel.
We finished the tour of the house and exited at the inside back porch stairway. I thanked Mr.
Flowers for his informative and interesting tour and proceeded down the stairway. The heat of
the summer afternoon that greeted me was a reminder that there was no air-conditioning back
then. Although the house was constructed to take advantage of the breezes off the Gulf, I know
from my experience on the coast that it must have been just plain hot both inside and outside of
the house.
I told Mr. Forte that the tour would not be complete without a visit to the Confederate Soldiers
Home Cemetery and he graciously offered to take me there on his cart. Riding on Cemetery
Road we passed the Nature Trail, the Educational Pavilion, the Bay Head Swamp and the
Oyster Bayou Lagoon. The Lagoon has some alligators in it that appeared after Katrina and
have resided there ever since.
The cemetery is in a quiet and shady place in the northwest section of Beauvoir. Mr. Forte
explained that in 1903 Mrs. Davis sold Beauvoir to the Sons of the Confederate.
Veterans with the stipulation that it would be operated
as a Confederate soldiers’ home. During the same year the cemetery was established as a part
of the soldiers’ home. There are 780 Confederate veterans and wives buried in this historic
cemetery.
In addition on this site is the Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier. This grave contains the
remains of an unknown southern soldier killed in battle. Dedicated in 1981, the marble tomb
symbolizes all unknown southern dead from 1861 to 1865.
The body of the Unknown Soldier was found by Mr. Forte in the area of the Vicksburg
Campaign.
As I walked around and looked at the names on the simple headstones, I thought about the
young men on both sides of the war who had fought for their cause and of their wives and
families who lived through that difficult time. I said a quiet prayer for all of them. As we started to
leave, I noticed that there was a single red, faded rose on the grave of one of the wives. I
wondered why it was there and then decided that it might have been placed there as a
remembrance for all of the wives.
We got back on the cart and were riding back when we passed one more historical site. Mr.
Forte pointed to a gravestone that seemed to be bigger than the others. He said it was the burial
site and marker of “Polly the Mule” who was the beloved mascot and work animal for the
Confederate Veterans Home. It was just what I needed to hear to end the tour on a light note.
When we got back, I thanked Mr. Forte for making this a most informative, educational and
enjoyable tour. It is obvious that he is a devoted and dedicated employee who goes above and
beyond in all of his endeavors with Beauvoir.
I decided to stay awhile and absorb what I had seen and heard. I walked over to a shady place
and sat down on a bench to rest and reflect on the afternoon. I realized that I would never be
able to convey all of the historical information and the significance of everything I had seen and
heard, but I would do my best.
As I sat there, I remembered the many times I had visited Beauvoir with the young people in the
Gulfport Little Theatre’s Youth Program. We had been asked on several occasions to bring our
musical productions to Beauvoir’s Candlelight Christmas, but the best times were when we
performed the Shakespeare productions on the grounds. We set up a stage on the east side of
the house. People came and brought blankets, chairs and lunches. I’ll never forget our
production of Midsummer Night’s Dream when the fairies danced on the stage with Christmas
tree lights twinkling like stars on a back drop underneath the real stars twinkling above. It was a
magical evening.
As I started to walk to my car, I took one last look around. It felt like I was forgetting something.
As I looked around I realized that it was the trees. I had not noticed the trees previously. Half of
the trees had been blown away in the storm and those that were left were battle-scarred but still
standing. I reached out and touched the rough bark of one giant oak and noticed that the
branches were full of green leaves. The trees are coming back, and to me, they are a symbol of
the spirit of Beauvoir and the Coast. Beauvoir and the Mississippi Gulf Coast will be rebuilt and
will be bigger and better than ever before. When thinking about the future, I could not help but
smile as I got into my car and drove home.

Beatlemania is coming to town!
That’s right, the hit show is going to be at the
Hard Rock Casino on Oct. 10th and 11th, during the Cruising The Coast Event, here in Biloxi. A
show to please all... after all, who doesn’t absolutely love the Beatles music?
The show covers different eras in the Beatles career, from Ed Sullivan right on through to Abbey
Road. There will be multiple costume changes but, most importantly, this show is about “the
music.” That’s what people want the most. To hear the great songs, the soundtracks of the 60’s,
played well by really good musicians. And that’s just what to expect with this awesome show.
The guys in the band are all alumni of the show that started the entire tribute-band thing,
Beatlemania, which was more than a tribute-band, it was a huge Broadway hit.
”We’ve played all over the world for many years. It’s been a wonderful run,” says Bobby Taylor.
Bobby, is a multi-talented artist that performs more than just theBeatlemania show.
He is a songwriter and he has a new CD of his own compositions entitled, Route 66 Revisited.
Bobby performs Beatlemania for fun. His own artistry is more important to him musically. In a
musical category that would be considered Americana, Bobby covers multiple styles: Classic
Rock, Ballads, New Orleans–style Rock and Roll, Latin Rock, Country, even Gospel. There’s
lots of spice in Bobby’s musical gumbo.
Anyone looking for an award winning, entertaining show should be sure to mark their calendar
to see the upcoming show at the Hard Rock Casino October 10 and 11. Bobby says, “We hope
all our fans, and lovers of the Beatles music, come out to see us. We’re looking forward to a
really big show! And, the Hard Rock has, of course, the best showroom
and casino in town. See you there!”

Welcome to the beautiful Mississippi Gulf
Coast. My name is Dina and I work at e
SPA in Gulfport.
In each issue of this magazine I strive to
enlighten the reader about various
aspects of the spa and salon industry. My
goal is to inform you.
In this issue I want to discuss the different
types of salons and spas and what kind of
services you can have done.
Some hair and nail salons are set up for
just hair or nail care, while most spas are
set up for services that mainly focus on
the whole body such as skin care, nail
care and therapeutic massage. Some spas
with salons offer all of these services. I
know it can be confusing and hard to
decide what type of salon is right for you.
Well, I want
to help you with that. If you’re looking for
a new hairstyle or just a cut and a
manicure, a hair and nail salon could be
just the place for you. After deciding on
where to go and before you allow
someone to work on you take a moment
and make sure the person that will be
performing your service is licensed. If
they are not licensed, expect some
problems. I see clients coming in quite
often for us to fix something that an
unlicensed technician has performed.
Another vital expectation is clean work
areas and sterilized equipment; for your
own safety do not stay if the salon is dirty!
The salon and spa combination is the type of place to have several services performed at the
same time or during the same visit. Therefore expect to come in, relax and not be rushed. At
these facilities great care has usually been taken to create an environment where you can
escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life. THE SPA, (our spa) is just that kind of place.
I am blessed to work with professionals that truly care about their clients. When you walk into
either of our two locations you immediately feel a sense of calmness. THE SPA on Cowan Road
in Gulfport is situated in a gentile historic home.
is location is set up for therapeutic massage, skincare and nail care services. Each room in the
salon is decorated and set up for total comfort creating a sense of serenity when you walk
through the door.
Our second location which is at 177 Teagarden Road, in Gulfport is also situated in a historic
home. At this location we offer the art of hair styling to our menu of services. You will find the
same sense of comfort, relaxation and professionalism at this salon as at our Cowan Road
location.
At THE SPA we feel that everyone deserves the best treatment in the best atmosphere possible.
Please come by one of our locations and experience a staff that truly cares about you and your
well being. When you come to us we are excited that you have chosen us to take care of you.

any spa or salon can provide. All of our staff is licensed professionals. You’ll also leave knowing

On an average day, The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park campus serves as a
relaxing setting to take a stroll on the green lawn among the towering live oak trees. The view
toward the beach is just as breathtaking to watch boats glide through the rolling waves, the
mirage of islands in the distance or the colorful kites fl own against the blue and white sky.
When August 23 rolls around, Southern Miss and the City of Long Beach will bring some soul to
the campus with the Southern Miss Jazz and Blues Festival. People of all ages are welcome to
spread out a blanket and enjoy the music. For everyone who wants to explore the local artistry
or indulge in some traditional southern cuisine, simply visit all the booths that will be set up on
the festival grounds.
The main musical acts that will perform for the
festival are the Sauce Boss, the Steve Warren Band and the Jerry Ball Jazz and Blues Quintet.
The performance lineup is expected to grow in the weeks before to include local non-profit
children’s organizations and other jazz and blues musical groups. Children will also have a fun
time during the festival playing an assortment of games and winning prizes.
The Sauce Boss, also known as Bill Wharton and the Ingredients, is popular with blues
audiences for performing with a unique Floridian style. While the band is busy making music,
Wharton is also cooking his famous gumbo on stage. As Wharton performs and cooks, the
audience can only hope that by the end of the performance, some of that spicy gumbo will get
passed around. Most of the Sauce Boss’ performances end with every eager listener getting to
taste some musical gumbo. The Sauce Boss inevitably received his name for his great music
and spicy cooking.
The Steve Warren Band regularly performs anywhere from New Orleans to Florida with their
funky blues-rock style of music. Lead performer Warren has been playing the guitar by ear since
he was nine years old. The goal of Warren and his band is to revive original blues music in
Mississippi – the birthplace of the blues. With his band, Warren “has clearly developed his own
blend of down home music and an exciting style of the blues.”
For those who appreciate jazz and blues improvisation, the Jerry Ball Jazz and Blues Quintet
captures this unique musical expression. Ball, a professional musician for over 35 years, plays
the saxophone while leading the band. The soulful sounds produced by these musicians will get
any festival audience in the jazz and blues mood.
Although there is no admission fee for festival-goers, proceeds received from the festival will
benefit the Mississippi Gulf Coast Youth Development Coalition. Artists’ booths and concession
areas will be open throughout the front of the Gulf Park campus for everyone to visit.
The Southern Miss Jazz and Blues Festival,
which is free and open to the public,
is scheduled for Saturday, August 23, from 2 until 8 p.m.
on the Southern Miss Gulf Park campus
at 730 East Beach Boulevard in Long Beach.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Condominiums
Trading in the Picket Fence for a Decorative Rail
As the Coast continues to develop her own, modern persona, the question is often raised,
“Why would I want to buy a condo here and of all times, why now?”
by Laura Brown
There are many who have enjoyed the comforts of condominium living for years and
inevitably, others who would never dream of giving up a house for the condo lifestyle.
Increasing , however, there is a movement aspiring to a “little place of their own”
which has a maintenance-free lifestyle and a choice of activities and services – trading
in the white picket fenced yard for ‘greener grounds.’ Whether year-round or as a
welcome escape, residents are eager to indulge in the simplified living within
condominium communities, with the ease of ownership and with the freedom that it
affords them.
With an unusual mix of culture, industry and geography coupled with its sea-side
scene, the Gulf Coast has an almost universal appeal. Mindful of that, developers are
designing mixed-use, townhome and condominium communities to allow people with a
wide range of tastes and lifestyles to enjoy a water-side home which preserves those
elements, such as greenspace, water access and unique settings, which help to define
the Coast’s appeal.Neighborhoods designed in this manner are more likely than their
single-home counterparts to include such lagniappe as jogging trails, pools, covered
parking and resident piers – luxury waterfront lifestyle without the millionaire price-tag.
Increasingly important to our residents, snowbirds and weekend homeowners,
convenience and the high-end comfort of select condominiums have recently been
introduced to the Mississippi Coast to meet a variety of personal interests and needs.
Gone are the days when suburbia defined your time. America’s New Riviera has come
of age and today, you can capture the alternative that a condominium community
offers.
This year, for example, construction commenced on Biloxi’s only Bay-side
condominium home, The Pointé at Bay Cove. Owners will have the security of knowing
that their investment is built to new, more stringent codes and that their residences are
elevated to the approved FEMA standards- considerations which can mean
considerable reductions in insurance rates. Designed for safety on the waterfront and
integrated into the surrounding residential landscape, choice local condos are a smart
buy for those whose priorities include one-of-a kind home sites, year-round outdoor
activities in one of the countries least expensive seaside locales. Demand for
Mississippi’s coastal condominium homes is expected to rise as the Biloxi gaming and
entertainment market continues to grow, the region’s large shipping and shipbuilding
industries continue to expand, and as Baby Boomers move to warmer climes, smaller
abodes and more active lifestyles.

numerous awards and accolades, including being honored by Golf Digest as one of the
“Top Ten Courses” in Mississippi, voted as the “Best Course on the Coast” by readers

Mississippi Gulf Coast,” by the National Golf Course Owners Association. Most
