Beauvoir Update and Pic

This is an excerpt from a good article found here. The story includes a disturbing picture of Beauvoir from an angle we hadn't seen before....

"At Beauvoir, the 1853 home of the only president of the Confederacy, the storm surge gutted Jefferson Davis' Library and his guest house. The Beauvoir's front gallery was ripped off, and the first floor is badly damaged."That's where many of the valuable artifacts were secured prior to the storm. All is not lost there," said Ken P'Pool, historic preservation division director for the Mississippi Department of Archives and History."
