Summary: Short and Easy to Read History
Comment: This book is a short, easy to read, to the point book about Louisiana. It is basically written in two sections. The first chapters cover the history of Louisiana in general. The second section covers the various areas of Louisiana. I particularly liked the suggested places to see and lists of fairs at the end of each area chapter.

There were two things I didn't like about this book-
There were very few pictures. However, the pictures this book did have added to the text of the book. Secondly, I didn't like the fact that at times the book seemed to get bogged down in dates and names and places. However, history is just that at times- dates and names and places.

If you are interested in Louisiana history, but don't want to slog through a huge book of history, this is a very good book.
I think the authors state it best when they say that if this book was for a college course, the course would be Louisiana 101.
