The Land Where Dreams Come True

By Thomas E Dabney

Written by Thomas Ewing Dabney (1885-1970)

In November 1914, Thomas E. Dabney purchased The Ocean Springs News. During his short tenure at Ocean Springs, he published a promotional pamphlet, "Ocean Springs: The Land Where Dreams Come True (1915)", which emphasized the agricultural and recreational opportunity of the town.

Dabney joined the staff of The Times Picayune in 1933, and had a marvelous career as an author, lecturer, adventurer, and expert on Shakespeare. Dabney penned, Tropic Intrigue; One Hundred Great Years: The Story of The Times Picayune From Its Beginning To 1940; The Man Who Bought The Waldorf: The Life of Conrad N. Hilton; and Revolution or Jobs. The Pamphlet was republished in 1974 by the 1699 Historical Committee and again in 2023 by The Ocean Springs Mississippi Historical Society.
