This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches, Historical and Descriptive, of Louisiana No wonder then that Louisiana at the time of the cession, was so little known to the United States. They had suddenly and unexpectedly acquired a territory of which they knew not the extent; they were equally unacquainted with its climates, soils and productions, the magnitude and impor tance of its numerous rivers, and its commercial and other natural advantages. I therefore indulge the expectation, that the subsequent sketches, however inaccurate or errone ous, will not prove wholly unacceptable to the public; par ticularly as no one before me, to my knowledge, has at: tempted an history and description of this territory. Historians have but partially noticed that country; none of their works seem to embrace, in regular detail, any con siderable number of years they are extremely barren of events, and unfortunately contain many chasms. These are in part supplied from some ancient manuscriptjournals, and other documents, to which I gained access; yet it is to be regretted that materials are still wanting to exhibit even the prominent historical features of Louisiana. The writings of missionaries at least those I have seen, and the accounts pub-3 lished by Friench officers who were employed in the coun try during part of the two last centuries, are mostly of an uninteresting nature. I am, however, much indebted to both dead and living authors; and ifi have been less solicitous to acknowledge my obligations to them, than to collect and arrange the substance of their labors, it was because I relucted at marginal and other references.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Louisiana and the Louisiana Purchase Isiana and the changes In its boundary during the 137 years between 1682, the date of La Salle's discovery, and 1819, the date of the purchase Of Florida, formed an interesting part of the exhibit of the General Land Office at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition held at St. Louis, Mo., in 1904. Differences of Opinion have prevailed as to the extent Of Louisiana as purchased from France. It is believed thatthese are due, first, to a misconception of the scope of La Salle's discovery and proclamation, and, second, to a misunderstanding of the real significance of the political acts of the United States, between 1803 and 1819, affecting that part of La Salle's Louisiana which extended along the Gulf coast east of the Mississippi River. It Is submitted, as to the former, that the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 did not include territory beyond the limits of the original Louisiana, and, as to the latter, that all Spanish doubts as to ownership were resolved and permanently settled by the political acts of the United States following the purchase from France, but antedating the purchase of Florida from Spain. It is believed, also, that a true picture of the extent and location of La Salle' s Louisiana Is shown upon map No. 1. This picture greatly assists one to understand the.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Life and Character in Louisiana: The Portraits Selected Principally From the Bench and Bar Mr. Hennen has, through a long life, set an example of total abstinence. To this cause we may greatly attribute his success in life, the accumulation of a handsome property, and the respectable position he holds in our city. Adyo cate as the writer is, of the cause of temperance, he cannot for-bear pointing to this gentleman, as a shining example of its practical effects. So noted has Mr. Hennen become in this respect, that he has received from Father Matthew the most honorable token ever conferred by the great Irish reformer, upon the distinguished advocates of this noble cause. We may further state, in this connexion, that Mr. Hennen appears to be a man of exemplary piety, and strict in his attendance upon the ordinances of our holy religion. I remember him some time since, as an examiner of young candidates for admission to the bar, and as quite a bug-bear to them, from his intimate acquaintance witlfthe institutes of Justinian. As a lawyer and a gentleman, he is an ornament to the city he has made his home, and deserves worthy and honorable mention in these Sketches.

Book excerpt: Many years ago, during a long, confining illness in her native Australia, Margaret Stones whiled away the hours drawing the wildflowers friends placed at her bedside. Today she is acclaimed as one of the world's most distinguished botanical artists. Stones served for twenty-five years as the principal illustrator for Curtis's Botanical Magazine, contributing more than 400 drawings. She has also completed a six-volume illustrated work, The Endemic Flora of Tasmania, and has worked under commission for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, England, the Royal Horticultural Society of England, and similar institutions the world over.In 1976, as part of the United States' bicentennial celebration, Louisiana State University commissioned Stones to execute six watercolor renderings of Louisiana flora. This initial project was so successful that Stones was asked to draw a much larger number of the state's native plants. Today Stones has completed more than 200 watercolors, all of which are maintained in the LSU Libraries' E. A. McIlhenny Natural History Collection. The drawings represent not only a collection of exquisite botanical art but an accurate scientific record of Louisiana's lush, varied, and beautiful flora.Flora of Louisiana reproduces the great bulk of Stones's collection. The volume contains more than 200 pages of full-color and black-and-white illustrations. Each drawing is accompanied by a short text that gives information about the plant, including a physical description and details about habitat and growing conditions.The publications of Flora of Louisiana is set to coincide with the first of several international exhibitions of Stones's drawings, beginning in April, 1991.

Download or read book Marie Adrien Persac written by H. Parrott Bacot and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie Adrien Persac (1823-1873) was a French-born Louisiana artist who worked in a range of mediums to produce a unique view of the lower Mississippi Valley at midcentury. In the first catalogued exhibition devoted solely to this multifaceted but overlooked talent, paintings, drawings, maps, and photographs from numerous holdings have been brought together to present fresh insights and reevaluate this artist's place in the annals of American history and material culture. Due in part to his broad talents artist, cartographer, architect, civil engineer, photographer, and art teacher Persac's work is of major importance to Southern history researchers and art historians. His paintings of south Louisiana plantation houses have captured that now-varnished lifestyle in minute detail, approximating the exactitude of architectural drafting. Today this series is invaluable to scholars of the period, as is Persac's painting of a steamboat interior -- the only one known to exist -- and another French Opera House, which burned to the ground in 1919.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panorama of past and contemporary southern society are captured in Bridging Southern Cultures by some of the South's leading historians, anthropologists, literary critics, musicologists, and folklorists. Crossing the chasms of demographics, academic disciplines, art forms, and culture, this exciting collection reaches aspects of southern heritage that previous approaches have long obscured. Virtually every dimension of southern identity receives attention here. William Andrews,Thadious Davis, Sue Bridwell Beckham, Richard Megraw, and Joyce Marie Jackson offer engaging reflections on art, age, race, and gender. Bertram Wyatt-Brown delivers a startling reading of Faulkner, revealing the tangled history of southern modernism. Daniel C. Littlefield, Henry Shapiro, and Charles Reagan Wilson provide important assessments of Africanisms in southern culture, Appalachian studies, and the blessing and burden of southern culture. John Shelton Reed probes the humorous and awkward aspects of the South's midlife crisis. John Lowe shows how the myth of the biracial southern family complicated plantation-school narratives for both white and black writers. Showcasing the thought of preeminent southern intellectuals, Bridging Southern Cultures is a timely assessment of the state of contemporary southern studies.

Download or read book Expressions of Place written by John R. Kemp and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expressions of Place embarks on a journey across the rural and urban landscapes of Louisiana via the talents of thirty-seven artists located all around the state. Many are acclaimed professionals whose paintings are included in major private and public collections regionally and nationally. Others have found their followings closer to home. All, however, strive to express impressions of the land with artistic styles that range from traditional to the symbolic and almost totally abstract. Such a variety of interpretation becomes possible in a landscape that changes from dark cypress-shrouded bayous, trembling earth, grassy prairies, the gritty streets of inner city New Orleans to vast wind-swept coastal marshes and the piney hills of north and central Louisiana. Rather than stand as an encyclopedia, catalog, or history of the visual arts in Louisiana, Kemp's book is instead a celebration of the state's evocative landscape in the work of accomplished contemporary artists. It includes an introductory essay, which places these creators and their works in historical context. Expressions of Place provides readers with individual essays and biographical sketches in which the artists, in their own words, give insight as to what they paint, how they paint, where they paint, and why they are drawn to the Louisiana landscape. Particularly inspiring, the artists discuss their interpretations of that landscape directly with the viewing audience. Expressions of Place remains as much about the landscape of the artists' imaginations as it is about the land itself. With each painting, they have created visual poetry of a land and environment that has become a defining part of their lives.
