Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the travels of seventeen families that led them to Louisiana and how they and their descendants prospered over the next 300 years. Many of the early settlers of Louisiana traveled very different and difficult paths, from the slave insurrection in Saint Domingue, the Acadian deportation in Nova Scotia and the French Revolution. Many of the French and Spanish soldiers, who served in Louisiana, chose to remain and some greatly influenced the lives of the people in this book. One was Marianao Ribas and his daughter, Maria Del Carmen Ribas, whose name was carried down to Carmen Generes Gravois, wife of the author. Jean Baptiste DeGeneres arrived in Saint Domingue in 1720, the same year Nicolas Lacour arrived in Louisiana. Jean Constantin DeGeneres was attending school in Paris when the slave insurrection started in Saint Domingue where their father and mother were killed. He was taken in by the Mayre Family, who were Saint Domingue refugees living in Maryland. Jean married and moved to Virginia where all his children were born. Some of Jean's children arrived about 1850 after a short time in Missouri.

Download or read book Designing the Bayous written by Martin Reuss and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2004-06-02 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisiana’s Atchafalaya River Basin is one of the most dynamic and critical environments in the country. It sustains the nation’s last cypress-tupelo wetland and provides a habitat for many species of animals. Endowed with natural gas and oil fields, the basin also supports a large commercial fisheries industry. Perhaps most crucial, it remains a primary component of the plan to control the Mississippi River and relieve flooding in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and other communities in the lower river valley. The continuing health of the basin is a reflection not of nature, but of the work of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. With levee building and clearing in the nineteenth century and damming, dredging, and floodway construction in the twentieth, the basin was converted from a vast forested swamp into a designer wetland, where human aspirations and nature maintained a precarious equilibrium. Originally published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers primarily for internal distribution, this environmental and political history of the Atchafalaya Basin is an unflinching account of the transformation of an area that has endured perhaps more human manipulation than any other natural environment in the nation. Martin Reuss provides a new preface to bring us up-to-date on the state of the basin, which remains both an engineering contrivance and natural wonder.

Download or read book Black Ranching Frontiers written by Andrew Sluyter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVIn this groundbreaking book Andrew Sluyter demonstrates for the first time that Africans played significant creative roles in establishing open-range cattle ranching in the Americas. In so doing, he provides a new way of looking at and studying the history of land, labor, property, and commerce in the Atlantic world./div DIVSluyter shows that Africans’ ideas and creativity helped to establish a production system so fundamental to the environmental and social relations of the American colonies that the consequences persist to the present. He examines various methods of cattle production, compares these methods to those used in Europe and the Americas, and traces the networks of actors that linked that Atlantic world. The use of archival documents, material culture items, and ecological relationships between landscape elements make this book a methodologically and substantively original contribution to Atlantic, African-American, and agricultural history./div
