Download or read book The Louisiana Governors written by Joseph G. Dawson III and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1990-02-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Louisiana Governors is a one-volume reference work on the diverse, frequently colorful leaders of Louisiana since the eighteenth century. From Iberville to Edwards, this biographical directory provides a comprehensive look into the lives of sixty-six men who have wielded their political power in molding the history of the state. Joseph G. Dawson’s introduction sets the stage for this knowledgeable look at Louisiana’s governors by examining the historical evolution of the governorship over the past three centuries. Dawson focuses not only on the evolution of the office but also on the dominant personalities who have served it and the ever changing constitutions that have guided it. For the first time, students of Louisiana history will have at their disposal a chronological compilation of scholarly essays on the lives of the men who have served at Louisiana’s chief executive. Providing first a short biographical sketch of the governor under consideration, each essay includes an analytical discussion of the governor’s administration and of his role in the state’s history. A bibliography pertaining to the governor and his era follows each essay. The Louisiana Governors describes in rich detail the influence of French and Spanish colonial governors on Louisiana’s leaders of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The rivalry that now exists between the chief executive and the legislature, as well as the factionalism that has surfaced in the political system, is directly rooted in the state’s colonial past. It has been said that Louisianians like their politicians like their food—hot and spicy. They have not been disappointed. From the Lemoyne brothers, Iberville and Bienville, of the French colonial era, to the Long brothers, Huey and Earl, of the twentieth century, Louisiana’s governors have attracted ardent loyalty and vigorous criticism simultaneously. They have been hailed by critics as dictators, political mavericks, puppets, and even rubber-stamp governors. But whether weak or powerful, charismatic or unimposing, these men have braved controversy and political turmoil to create a governorship steeped in tradition.

This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisiana supplied 10,000 troops to the fight in the War with Mexico, a war which was fueled by the aggressive expansion westward of American settlers after the Louisiana Purchase. After it was all over, Mexico ceded a vast landmass to the United States stretching from Texas to California. With photography being in its infant stages, few images of soldiers were taken, much less still exist today of the war time period. Most of the portraits of Louisiana soldiers in this work were taken in later years.
