5.0 out of 5 stars More than Lousiana Lightnin', July 8, 2004
This review is from: Louisiana (Portrait of America) (Library Binding)
Dixieland Jazz, cajun, creole, Lake Ponchartrain, ancient mansions, all of these images come to mind when one thinks of Louisiana. But, as this little volume demonstrates, there's more than meets the eye.

The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Louisiana" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. And this edition is loaded with several beautiful photographs. The "Culture" section is my personal favorite.

This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
