Diamondhead Gold Dan A Ellis

"Diamondhead Gold" presents an illustrative history of Diamondhead - beginning from its formative years and on through early development until becoming one of the most beautiful residential resorts along the Gulf Coast. The book unfolds with narration, photographs and drawings that enables the reader to realize the unique blend of events and endeavors which, through the years, has meant population growth, economic expansion, healthful prosperity, and a crime-free, litter-free-community as was envisioned by the original developers and the first pioneers who made the phrase "Diamondhead Paradise" come alive. The perspective is in keeping with the dynamics of a resort community which is activity-oriented with abundant and recreational amenities. Diamondhead is ensconced in a Gulf Coast environment with a climate beneficial to water sports, golfing, and relaxation. Moreover, the community is enriched by a wooded ambience amid slowly rolling hills which are penetrated by protected water ways, lakes and ponds. As a Golden Anniversary contribution, this book represents a salute to Diamondhead, and to its people who made the development such an outstanding place in which to live, work, and play.
