Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Louisiana has always been a home for people of numerous races, nationalities, and religious backgrounds. The influence of this mixture is responsible for Louisiana's rich history and one-of-a-kind culture. But, most importantly, Louisiana's heritage owes its diversity to the assortment of personalities who have contributed to the state's development.
Involved in the arts, business, education, politics, and sports, the men and women of Louisiana history have their own stories to tell of determination, compassion, and diligence. From individuals like Charles Gayarre, the historian of Louisiana; Etienne de Bore, the father of Louisiana's thriving sugar industry; and Eleanor McMain, the teacher of the poor and oppressed, the spirit and history of Louisiana were born.
Brought together with their contemporaries and their successors, these figures and many more come to life in Louisianians All, a biographical chronicle of well-known and lesser-known names that shaped the state and its history.
