About the Book

All About Camille, the 1969 storm, is well documented in this only remaining book in print. It reveals the brewing storm from its early development off the coast of Africa as it proceeded dead center into the Bay of St. Louis destroying the town of Pass Christian with its great wrath. The book tracks the hurricane's landfall and its aftermath with special sections on the towns and cities of Pass Christian, Long Beach, Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Jackson County. Hundreds of photos show the vast devastation in all quarters along the Coast. Sun-Herald reporter Nan Patton Ehrbright writes that, All About Camille is intended to provide irrefutable evidence about the devastating power of hurricanes to newcomers who may tend to underestimate the strength of hurricanes and tidal surges. The book's cover portrays a view of Scenic Drive in Pass Christian that shows debris - 10 to 20 feet high - in demonstrating how horrifying a Category 5 storm can be. Ellis points out in "All About Camille" that during the 1990s, the rejuvenated Coast not only made a comeback, but grew with pride and vitality which escalated its position as a national resort attraction. Counties and cities renewed their rejuvenation programs and accelerated their efforts in downtown revitalization, city beautification, historic preservation, and the hiring of professional expertise for each endeavor. (As a pre-cursor of symbolic strength as duplicated in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina of 2005. Included is a special topical section commemorating Wade Guice, written by Jimmie Bell, a longtime Coast newspaper reporter.
About the Author: Originally from New Orleans, in 1990 Ellis established permanent residence at his Pass Christian weekend home. His interest in writing lead to publishing vignette columns in local newspapers. Upon researching for his first community heritage book, he realized that a significant amount of misinformation abounded. This resulted in his seeking primary source in-formation from archival records in Mobile, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, New Orleans, Louisiana, and from local courthouses and churches. Ellis's books are filled with treasured photographs and maps; and he takes special effort to seek out individuals, whether obscure or prominent - those who can add a touch of personal experience by revealing anecdotal interviews. Not being able to find a publisher, Ellis was determined to get his history books to the general public, so he learned to be a self-publisher and now distributes his history books through bookstores and gift shops and the Internet. He also publishes much information to his several web sites providing free access to information and photographs. Ellis's books are computerized in order to enable easy updating and error corrections. Residing now in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, he refers to himself as an Historiographeur and Scrutinier, which simply translates to a "writer of history with authenticity."
