My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

Pre-schooler Will Marts gets a close-up view of Crooked Feather on a sunny October day in 2007 just two days before the reopening of the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge resumed travel by his prominent Highway 90 location. Hungarian sculptor, Peter W. Toth, completed the six-foot tall sculpture from a ten ton cypress log in 1976 as a tribute to the indigenous American Indian, then returned to Ocean Springs in 1987 to restore Crooked Feather after Hurricane Elena toppled him in 1985. The original was replaced in the year 2000 by local sculptor, Thomas King, for $20,000.
