These two volumes are the RAREST of ALL the books published by the Goodspeed Publishing Company. They are also probably one of the MOST VALUABLE set of books ever published on Louisiana Families. A NEW FULL NAME INDEX has been created for this reprint edition in order to make it more user friendly for research. This book is broken into several different sections: Indians, French and Spanish Settlements, Louisiana under 3 different Governments, Ante-Bellum Political History, Louisiana in the War of 1812, Louisiana in the Mexican War, Bench and Bar, Education, Medicine, Growth and Development after the War, Agriculture, and History of New Orleans including early inhabitants. But the genealogists will love the next two sections, and they cover the creation and history of the parishes "A thru L" and followed by the Biographical Section covering surnames "A thru L". The New index that was created for this reprint mentions approximately 6,500 individuals.
