Bearss EC. 1984. Historic Resource Study: Ship Island, Harrison County, Mississippi, Gulf Island National Seashore
This report has been prepared to provide the National Park Service with a Cultural Resource Study of the significant historical features associated and identified with Ship Island, Mississippi. Coincident with the research and writing of this document, the Historical Data Section for the Fort Massachusetts Historic Structure Report has been prepared and submitted. Research for this study was undertaken in Washington at the National Archives and Records Service, Library of Congress, and the Department of the Interior Library; at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in the U.S. Army's Military Institute; at Jackson, Mississippi, in the Mississippi Department of Archives and History; and on Mississippi's Gulf Coast in the Jim Stevens Collection and in the files of the Mississippi Unit, Gulf Islands National Seashore. Thousands of documents were studied and evaluated and a comprehensive report prepared which we hope will assist Service personnel in managing and interpreting an area which possesses much that is significant to the history of our country through more than three centuries.
