Book Cane River Creole National Historical Park Oakland Plantation the Cottage

Download or read book Cane River Creole National Historical Park Oakland Plantation the Cottage written by Inc. Hartrampf and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of its construction until the time of its sale to the National Park Service as part of the creation of the Cane River Creole National Historical Park, the Cottage has been used as a family residence, mostly to house members of the Prud'homme family who owned and developed the area first known as the Bermuda Plantation and later as the Oakland Plantation. In fact, during its nearly 170-year history, it housed families unrelated to the Prud'hommes for a total of only about 25 years. Though the Main House of the Plantation has received a majority of the interest and attention, the Cottage deserves important billing as a significant structure in the life and culture of the area and the times.

Download or read book Draft General Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement written by United States National Park Service and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Draft General Management Plan, Environmental Impact Statement: Cane River Creole National Historical Park, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana When Congress established Cane River Creole National Historical Park in November 1994, it created the only national park system unit to commemorate the long and complex history of early European exploration and settlement of the Red River Valley in northwestern Louisiana during the early 18'h century; the resulting cultural interaction and interdependence among the French, Spanish, Africans, and Indians; and the subsequent development and evolution of Creole culture and plantation life along the Cane River up to the mid-20'h century. The park is about 150 miles northwest of Baton Rouge and 70 miles southeast of Shreveport, and is in Natchitoches Parish (a parish is similar to a county in other states). Natchitoches is the largest city in the parish and is also the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase Territory. Cane River Creole National Historical Park consists of two units about 44 acres of Oak land Plantation, which is about 10 miles south of Natchitoches, and about 19 acres of Magnolia Plantation, which is about 10 miles south of Oakland. The authorized boundary for Oakland Plantation includes an additional 144 acres that are in private ownership. The National Park Service is authorized to acquire an additional 10 acres of land for a visitor center complex.

Book Natchitoches and Louisiana   s Timeless Cane River

Download or read book Natchitoches and Louisiana s Timeless Cane River written by Philip Gould and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled on the banks of the Cane River, Natchitoches (pronounced NAK-i-tush) is perhaps the most beautiful inland town in Louisiana. Founded in 1714 as a French colonial settlement, it boasts brick streets, venerable architecture, and a charming ambiance that draw visitors from around the world. Nearby, a magnificent plantation country and the multicultural Creole community of Isle Brevelle amplify the area's allure. This stunning gallery of photographs by Philip Gould, along with edifying articles, documents the varying cultures of the Cane River region, one of the state's oldest and most historically French areas. The book opens with a look at Natchitoches proper and its breathtaking architectural gems, including stately churches and elegant homes. Gould also captures the life pulsing behind these impressive facades. A blues band performs its monthly gig at Roque's Grocery. A child prepares to be baptized in the Cane River. A young couple celebrates their marriage in high style. Through Gould's lens and an enlightening history by Richard Seale, Natchitoches yesterday and today comes alive. The regal residences and faded communities that lie beyond Natchitoches are remnants of a once bustling plantation economy. Accompanied by revealing commentary from Robert DeBlieux, Gould trains his talented eye on the majestic estates of Oakland, Magnolia, Oaklawn, Cherokee, Beaufort, and Melrose plantations and on the tiny town of Cloutierville, once home to writer Kate Chopin. The book also spotlights the nearby Creole settlement of Isle Brevelle, which dates back to the area's colonial period. Gould celebrates the music, food, folklore, architecture, and landscape of this vibrant multiethnic community -- which originated with a French planter and a former slave. Harlan Mark Guidry, one of the many descendants of Isle Brevelle now living throughout the United States, narrates the story of this unique cultural treasure. Natchitoches and Louisiana's Timeless Cane River offers passage through an extraordinary world where people, heritage, and history are inseparably intertwined. Natives and tourists alike will relish the journey.

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller and Oprah's Book Club Pick-the unique and deeply moving saga of four generations of African-American women whose journey from slavery to freedom begins on a Creole plantation in Louisiana. Beginning with her great-great-great-great grandmother, a slave owned by a Creole family, Lalita Tademy chronicles four generations of strong, determined black women as they battle injustice to unite their family and forge success on their own terms. They are women whose lives begin in slavery, who weather the Civil War, and who grapple with contradictions of emancipation, Jim Crow, and the pre-Civil Rights South. As she peels back layers of racial and cultural attitudes, Tademy paints a remarkable picture of rural Louisiana and the resilient spirit of one unforgettable family. There is Elisabeth, who bears both a proud legacy and the yoke of bondage... her youngest daughter, Suzette, who is the first to discover the promise-and heartbreak-of freedom... Suzette's strong-willed daughter Philomene, who uses a determination born of tragedy to reunite her family and gain unheard-of economic independence... and Emily, Philomene's spirited daughter, who fights to secure her children's just due and preserve their dignity and future. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, Cane River presents a slice of American history never before seen in such piercing and personal detail.
