History of Louisiana Vol. I: The French Domination (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781565545359)

The author of this comprehensive history was the first Louisiana historian to document his studies through research in the national archives of France and Spain. Originally published in 1854, this volume tells of the French
in Louisiana. The impact felt by this French influence is still evident
today in such areas as architecture, religion, and cuisine.
As thorough as it is, this volume tells only the beginning of the story
of France's influence of Louisiana, beginning with the first exploration
of the Louisiana territory and extending well into the eighteenth century.
The fascinating account of the French in Louisiana is completed in Volume
II. While reading, one can also enjoy maps of Louisiana as it was during
the time discussed.
