From its ancient Indian peoples to its troubled beginning as a French colony to the tragic events of Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana has a history that, whatever else one might say about the state, has never been dull. This fifth edition of our classic survey history of Louisiana reflects a re-examination on the part of its esteemed team of authors of recent historical findings as well as of their own research, ensuring that "Louisiana: A History" will continue to present the most comprehensive and current account of the many different peoples that have and currently do make the rich, colourful land known as Louisiana their home.
