Talk:Pass Christian, Mississippi

References

A lot of this article seems like it might be from an almanac or the city Web site or the census, and is no doubt accurate, but it would be good if some of the information could be cited/referenced. (By the way, it was really shocking and heartbreaking to see the place after Katrina. I hope The Pass will be able to come back.) — Muffuletta 05:43, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

your pronunciation is incorrect. The corretct wasy to say the town;s name is "Pass [chris chan]". The second word is two syllables, not three.

Sorry, I was the individual that originally added the pronunciation, and I've *never* heard anyone say it that way living there over 15 years. Everyone I knew inside and outside the town always said "Chris tchee ann". Your pronunciation is a bit hard to read, but it looks like the conventional pronunciation of "Christian", and that is definitely *not* the correct pronunciation.

It may just be the matter of typing the syllables out - Much like Japanese in a way, the last part to me sounds like "chyan", so that would be one syllable instead of two.

Also I signed your comment for you, since you didn't do it. 170.145.0.100 (talk) 20:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how much devotion should be given to the "proper pronunciation" of Pass Christian. There is no citable reference as to the proper way to pronounce it. It is common among locals throughout southern Mississippi and South Eastern Louisiana to pronounce it "Chris Chan'" with the stress on the second syllable. But one would be hard pressed to say that a local would correct you for pronouncing it "Chris chee ann'". No one cares. Most important to locals is the stress on the latter of the syllables, be it 3 or 2. Wadical (talk) 08:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Pass Parade

Someone should write a section on the Mardi Gras Parade that goes on here in the Pass. That parade is HUGE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.168.179.155 (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

There is a line about it in the tourism section. I will add another detail or two, if you like Once Upon a Spiked Birch (talk) 16:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Narvaez Expedition didn't shipwreck here

The History subsection on Spanish Explorers in the articles states that it is likely that members of the Narvaez expedition shipwrecked here and were killed by the Carnones (which is a kerning error; it's Camones), as later told to Cabeza de Vaca. It's not cited, but it's either from pgs 41-42 of "History of Florida" (1871) by George R Fairbanks (https://books.google.com/books?id=qQur_U74oxoC) or some webpage summarizing that.

That's not a majority interpretation of Cabeza de Vaca's account of the failed Narvaez expedition, and mentioning it at all in the Pass Christian article would give outsized importance to that theory. Most other scholars I've seen quibble over where in Texas all the 5 boats landed after being separated by the currents at the Mississippi's mouth as they sailed west along the coast, trying to get to New Spain. https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/27784857.pdf

Just wanted to throw it out there for discussion before outright deleting it.

I deleted it. As I mentioned a year and a half ago, the Narvaez section of this article is unsourced, but I believe that accounting comes from a very old book that has not stood up particularly well. Within Wikipedia itself, the greater Narvaez Expedition article linked to in that deleted subsection of this article does not jive with what's said here; says they shipwrecked on Galveston Island which is more in line with modern historians' interpretations from what I've read.
