The Pelican State

Many people think of New Orleans when they hear the name "Louisiana." Beyond that well-known and vibrant city, Louisiana has much else to offer. In fact, important historical events in the state have shaped the whole nation, including the state’s response to environmental disasters and activists’ civil rights victories. This book puts historical and current events in context. It also presents a comprehensive look at the economy, geography, people, and government of the Pelican State.
