Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes in detail the history of the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and its riverfront, from its beginnings in the late 17th century to the present. At present, the Port of Greater Baton Rouge can boast of general cargo facilities; grain facilities; liquid bulk terminals; a barge terminal on the Mississippi river; and, to be completed early in 1997, an inland rivers terminal near the junction of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway with the river. In 1994, according to figures supplied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baton Rouge ranked fourth among ports in the United States in terms of tonnage handled. Furthermore, the capital city outranked seventh-place New Orleans, which had dominated oceangoing commerce in the Mississippi Valley since the eighteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 17, 1699, a group of French explorers under Pierre le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, were making their way up the Mississippi River from New Orleans when they spotted a red pole on a high bluff overlooking the river. The pole marked the boundary between the hunting grounds of the Houma and the Bayagoula Indians, and the Frenchmen christened it le baton rouge.The name Baton Rouge has survived, despite several attempts to change it, and today it designates the capital of a state whose people, by 1812, had lived under four flags -- French, English, Spanish, and American. Despite its tiny size, the settlement at Baton Rouge was a strategic outpost on the Mississippi River, and a number of fierce contests were waged for its control. In fact, the only battle of the American Revolution fought in Louisiana took place at Baton Rouge in 1779.In A History of Baton Rouge Rose Meyers has gathered, evaluated, and set down the stories, legends, facts, and circumstances of the founding of Baton Rouge; its troubled history under the colonial governments of France, England, and Spain; and its eventual entry into the Union in 1812. Featured in the book are portraits of early civil and military leaders and maps dating back to the French colonial period.

Book excerpt: A global traveler and adventurer, the German author Friedrich Gerstäcker (1816--1872) first arrived in Louisiana in March 1838, paddling the waterways leading from the wilds of the northwestern part of the state near Shreveport south to cosmopolitan New Orleans. He returned to the state in 1842, living for a year in the areas of Bayou Sara, St. Francisville, and Pointe Coupée -- then considered the most beautiful garden and plantation land along the Mississippi River. In 1867 he briefly visited Louisiana again, observing the devastation wrought by the Civil War and the turmoil of Reconstruction. No mere armchair tourist, Gerstäcker fully engaged himself in exploring Louisiana -- its landscapes, peoples, and Peculiar Institution. He was in the unique position of being both an insider and an outsider, and his sojourns in the state served as the basis for travel books, short stories, and novels. Gerstäcker was a remarkable raconteur and a highly popular author. During his lifetime and beyond, his writings conveyed the tenor of southern life to a German-speaking audience. Now, compiled and translated into English by Irene S. Di Maio, they offer a window on nineteenth-century Louisiana across several decades of growth and upheaval.Gerstäcker's aim as a writer was to inform and entertain, especially through humor, drama, and suspense. His works -- including his fiction -- sustain an almost ethnographic level of detail. The stories, travel sketches, and novel excerpts included here comment on slavery and its aftermath, ethnic and racial diversity, transcultural relations, and immigration and multilingualism. Gerstäcker's impressions of Louisiana remain relevant and deeply engaging

Book excerpt: A comprehensive blueprint for fixing America's cities and towns, updated and expanded “This book should be required reading in schools of urban design, architecture, and landscape architecture, and an understanding of it should be part of the licensing requirements for civil, traffic, and transportation engineers.” – Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, DPZ coDESIGN, former Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Miami. “I am delighted by the eloquence, knowledge, thoroughness, and basic common sense of Street Design, which is at once a how-to book and an ode to the beauty and wonder of cities. Much more than a formula for how to design streets, this book helps us understand that there are no simple answers or all-purpose solutions to the challenge of city-building.” – Paul Goldberger, Pulitzer-Prize-winning Contributing Editor at Vanity Fair, formerly at the New Yorker and the New York Times. John Massengale and Victor Dover know how to fix America's neighborhoods, cities, and towns: make them walkable again. That begins with great streets where people want to be, streets that are comfortable, safe, interesting, and beautiful. Street Design, Second Edition looks at hundreds of streets old and new, shows us what works and what doesn't, and reveals the secrets behind designing great streets and walkable places. Revised and expanded, now with full-color images throughout, this indispensable and transformative guide, the only book of its kind: Shows examples of over 150 excellent streets and explains why they are successful and how they were designed and created Reveals crucial elements that many modern street designs lack Offers step-by-step instruction on how to design new streets and improve existing ones to create more walkable cities and towns Highlights common street-design challenges and ways they can be addressed through placemaking Features more than 600 color and black-and-white photos Includes contributions from twenty of the leading design experts in the field, including Andrés Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Léon Krier, Nicholas Boys Smith, Jeff Speck, Stefanos Polyzoides, and John Norquist, the former mayor of Milwaukee. Street Design, Second Edition is the indispensable handbook for urban designers, civic leaders, architects, city planners, engineers, and landscape architects, and essential reading for any person who wants to make their community walkable and create memorable streets that are not mere routes to someplace else, but the great places to which other routes lead.
