Product description...

Hancock legends explored; flesh put on some old bones.


This book is a collection of stories about Hancock County, Mississippi and some of its people. Hancock County is only a small corner of a large state, but it has a rich history involving pirates, the Civil War, cotton plantations, slavery and Native Americans. Many stories of important events and their participants have been passed down as legends. It is the task of this book to uncover and explain the truths that are the bases of the myth, to find and report as much as possible through primary evidence and written history. In the process, names will be recognized as more than local significance, such as J.F.H. Claiborne, Jean Lafitte, Simon Favre, Andrew Jackson, Jr. and the tantalizing, mysterious Jean Blanque. Readers may evolve in the fullness of their own humanity in knowing and understanding what came before.
