Anything is possible when children choose the colors to use in this entertaining and educational coloring book. They might even (gasp!) choose to use colors other than purple and gold, even though this is the Historic Baton Rouge Coloring Book! Regardless of the colors the children choose, architectural gems including the Louisiana state capitol, Magnolia Mound plantation, and the Memorial Tower on the campus of Louisiana State University await their hues. Hopefully, the children will be kind enough to stay within the lines. But even if they don't, they are bound to have fun. As they exercise their artistic talents, they might just learn that Baton Rouge, Louisiana's capital since 1849, is French for "red stick." This unusual name comes from the marker that once served as a dividing line for Indian tribal territory. They might even color it red!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1699, Baton Rouge was the site of countless historic events and the home to many people, including those of African ancestry. South Baton Rouge is an African American community located in Baton Rouge. It was one of the first places African Americans could receive a high school education in the state. The three-mile community around historic McKinley High School was the site of the nation's first successful bus boycott. When laws restricted where African Americans could live, work, learn, and play, South Baton Rouge was a refuge. African American restaurants, theaters, gas stations, and other businesses populated the community, and change-makers, including African American lawyers, judges, clergy, educators, and nurses, helped to sustain the community and other portions of the southern half of Louisiana's capital through the end of legal segregation and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a history tied to the Mississippi River, Baton Rouge has grown from its colonial past as a military outpost favored by the French, English, and Spanish, in turn, into an American city of modern industry and rich diversity. Through the years, the people of Baton Rouge have weathered travails while developing a unique culture and city. Baton Rouge has seen occupation during the Civil War, the destruction by fire and reconstruction of the State Capitol, catastrophic flooding, and political and civil conflict—but also the economic impact of a growing port, the historic arrivals of Louisiana State University and Southern University, and the joyful rituals of Saturday football and the Washington’s Birthday Firemen’s Parade. Telling the city’s story in words and vivid black and white images, Historic Photos of Baton Rouge documents 100-plus years in the life of the "Red Stick” as only the camera can capture it—one engaging image at a time.
