This review is from: Historical Atlas of Louisiana (Hardcover)

Having been a student of Dr. Caldwell's and owning a personally signed copy of this book, I can attest to the excellent information in this book as it gives an accurate history of Louisiana's unique culture, geography and people. Dr. Caldwell brought the book alive to his students and when he died in 1998, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana and thousands of his students suffered a terrible loss, but our lives, our school and our state were made richer with the contributions he made to the world.

The state of Louisiana brings special images to mind: Mardi Gras, the French quarter, plantations, Cajuns, Huey Long, moss laden live oaks, and water. This comprehensive, up-to-date atlas, with dozens of maps in color, summarizes the geography, history, and economics of Louisiana's uniquely Southern milieu, from ancient days to the present.

The Atlas highlights Louisiana's physical environment and natural resources, aboriginal setting and Native American tribes, European contacts and settlement, political development, population and urbanization, transportation, agriculture, industry and commerce, and cultural growth. Each of the 99 pages of maps Is accompanied by an essay describing and summarizing important geographic features or historical events. The Atlas also includes a full length introduction, gazetteer, references and an index.
