Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the militia of colonial days to the National Guard of modern times, America�s citizen soldiers have symbolized the preparedness, the unselfish service, and the devotion to duty that have sustained the nation in war and peace. In times of grave national crisis, including wars, civil disorders, and natural disasters, these often unheralded patriots have served willingly, faithfully, and well. And, having contributed their special abilities to the task at hand, they returned to their citizen roles to await the next summons to duty. Here, for the first time, is the complete, detailed, documented history of the Louisiana National Guard, a facet of the state�s rich and colorful history that has never before been treated in depth. Author Evans J. Casso has woven an intricate tapestry of this continuing chronicle, drawing heavily upon extensive research from official state papers, archives, journals, narrative reports, and numerous personal interviews. With a disciplined historian�s eye, he traces the evolution of the Guard, from its forerunners of the frontier days to the highly trained, well-equipped organization of modern times. This work places in perspective the growth of the National Guard and the vital role it has played in the development of the Louisiana Territory, and later of both the state and the nation.

Book excerpt: From the hill country in the north to the marshy lowlands in the south, Louisiana and its citizens have long enjoyed the hard-earned fruits of the oil and gas industry’s labor. Economic prosperity flowed from pioneering exploration as the industry heralded engineering achievements and innovative production technologies. Those successes, however, often came at the expense of other natural resources, leading to contamination and degradation of land and water. In A Thousand Ways Denied, John T. Arnold documents the oil industry’s sharp interface with Louisiana’s environment. Drawing on government, corporate, and personal files, many previously untapped, he traces the history of oil-field practices and their ecological impacts in tandem with battles over regulation. Arnold reveals that in the early twentieth century, Louisiana helped lead the nation in conservation policy, instituting some of the first programs to sustain its vast wealth of natural resources. But with the proliferation of oil output, government agencies splintered between those promoting production and others committed to preventing pollution. As oil’s economic and political strength grew, regulations commonly went unobserved and unenforced. Over the decades, oil, saltwater, and chemicals flowed across the ground, through natural drainages, and down waterways. Fish and wildlife fled their habitats, and drinking-water supplies were ruined. In the wetlands, drilling facilities sat like factories in the midst of a maze of interconnected canals dredged to support exploration, manufacture, and transportation of oil and gas. In later years, debates raged over the contribution of these activities to coastal land loss. Oil is an inseparable part of Louisiana’s culture and politics, Arnold asserts, but the state’s original vision for safeguarding its natural resources has become compromised. He urges a return to those foundational conservation principles. Otherwise, Louisiana risks the loss of viable uses of its land and, in some places, its very way of life.

Book excerpt: History of Louisiana In the vast expanse of the universe, where galaxies swirl and stars twinkle in the blackness of space, humanity stands as a curious observer, striving to unravel the mysteries that surround us. Since time immemorial, we have gazed up at the night sky, pondering the secrets hidden beyond our reach. Our insatiable thirst for knowledge has propelled us forward, driving us to explore the uncharted territories of the cosmos. As we embark on this journey of discovery, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in history. Technological advancements have opened up new frontiers, allowing us to peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before. From the humble beginnings of Galileo's telescope to the intricate instruments of modern observatories, our tools have evolved, offering us unprecedented insights into the workings of the universe. But our quest for understanding goes beyond mere observation. We seek to unravel the fundamental laws that govern the cosmos, to decipher the origins of stars and galaxies, and to probe the very fabric of space and time itself. From the subatomic particles that dance within atoms to the colossal structures that stretch across the cosmos, we strive to uncover the underlying principles that bind the universe together. In this book, we embark on a journey into the unknown, guided by the spirit of exploration and the thirst for knowledge. We will traverse the vast reaches of space, delving into the mysteries of black holes, supernovae, and dark matter. We will explore the wonders of exoplanets, seeking out new worlds that may harbor the building blocks of life. And we will contemplate the profound questions that have puzzled philosophers and scientists alike for centuries: Are we alone in the universe? What is the ultimate fate of the cosmos? And what lies beyond the boundaries of our understanding? But our journey is not just a quest for answers; it is also a celebration of the human spirit. For as we gaze out into the cosmos

Download or read book Creole written by Sybil Kein and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the Creoles? The answer is not clear-cut. Of European, African, or Caribbean mixed descent, they are a people of color and Francophone dialect native to south Louisiana; and though their history dates from the late 1600s, they have been sorely neglected in the literature. Creole is a project that both defines and celebrates this ethnic identity. In fifteen essays, writers intimately involved with their subject explore the vibrant yet understudied culture of the Creole people across time—their language, literature, religion, art, food, music, folklore, professions, customs, and social barriers.

Download or read book Creole written by Sybil Kein and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word Creole evokes a richness rivaled only by the term's widespread misunderstanding. Now both aspects of this unique people and culture are given thorough, illuminating scrutiny in Creole, a comprehensive, multidisciplinary history of Louisiana's Creole population. Written by scholars, many of Creole descent, the volume wrangles with the stuff of legend and conjecture while fostering an appreciation for the Creole contribution to the American mosaic. The collection opens with a historically relevant perspective found in Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson's 1916 piece "People of Color of Louisiana" and continues with contemporary writings: Joan M. Martin on the history of quadroon balls; Michel Fabre and Creole expatriates in France; Barbara Rosendale Duggal with a debiased view of Marie Laveau; Fehintola Mosadomi and the downtrodden roots of Creole grammar; Anthony G. Barthelemy on skin color and racism as an American legacy; Caroline Senter on Reconstruction poets of political vision; and much more. Violet Harrington Bryan, Lester Sullivan, Jennifer DeVere Brody, Sybil Kein, Mary Gehman, Arthi A. Anthony, and Mary L. Morton offer excellent commentary on topics that range from the lifestyles of free women of color in the nineteenth century to the Afro-Caribbean links to Creole cooking. By exploring the vibrant yet marginalized culture of the Creole people across time, Creole goes far in diminishing past and present stereotypes of this exuberant segment of our society. A study that necessarily embraces issues of gender, race and color, class, and nationalism, it speaks to the tensions of an increasingly ethnically mixed mainstream America.

Book excerpt: Things aren't always what they seem. Devani Daniels learned that lesson the second a mysterious envelope was placed in her hands at a local blood drive. Little did she know that this seemingly innocent gesture would not only lead her into a whole new world, but to a reunion with Roman, a special friend from her past. However, the discovery that Roman is Sanguine tests Devani's long standing fears and faith in her own beliefs. For the daughter of a former leader of the extremist group that opposes Sanguines, being with Roman violates the Legacy Act and threatens to separate the two of them forever. Is love strong enough for Devani to risk the only life she's ever known, for an uncertain and potentially dangerous future? *** "Legacy" by Melissa R. Smith is a well-written tale that takes a reader into the dark world of the Sanguines. With its seductive atmosphere, this book weaves romance and danger on every page. The bond between Devani and Roman is unique. I especially liked the compromise between the conflicting worlds of human and vampire. Devani and Roman's need for one another is sweet and tender. Yet Devani holds fast to her moral ambition even though her heart is pushed to the breaking point. -Tamera L. at Readers Favorite

And what lies beyond the boundaries of our understanding? But our journey is not just a quest for answers; it is also a celebration of the human spirit. For as we gaze out into the cosmos, we are reminded of our place in the universe and of the boundless potential that lies within each and every one of us. It is a reminder that, despite our differences, we are united by our curiosity, our creativity, and our capacity for wonder. As we embark on this odyssey of exploration, let us remember the words of Carl Sagan, who famously said, "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." With each discovery, we come one step closer to unlocking the secrets of the cosmos and to realizing our place in the grand tapestry of the universe. So join me now as we set sail across the cosmic ocean, guided by the light of distant stars and fueled by the boundless curiosity that defines us as human beings. Together, let us journey into the unknown, as we seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe and to discover the wonders that lie beyond the horizon. Grab a copy and learn more!
