Description: 

Bay St. Louis is a real town on Mississippi's Gulf Coast. In 1905 its population would have been about 3,000. When the young Lucius Priest asks Boon if he "knows the difference between Bay St. Louis and Mobile" (44). Mobile is in Alabama, not Mississippi, but he might also be thinking about the difference between a resort town like Bay St. Louis and a major port city. His mother's Lessep parents live, and his grandfather dies, in Bay St. Louis.
