Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 282 pages with 80 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Grant Parish, Louisiana, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 2832 Parcels of Land (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 29 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for?

Download or read book Louisiana History written by Florence M. Jumonville and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-08-30 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the accounts of 18th-century travelers to the interpretations of 21st-century historians, Jumonville lists more than 6,800 books, chapters, articles, theses, dissertations, and government documents that describe the rich history of America's 18th state. Here are references to sources on the Louisiana Purchase, the Battle of New Orleans, Carnival, and Cajuns. Less-explored topics such as the rebellion of 1768, the changing roles of women, and civic development are also covered. It is a sweeping guide to the publications that best illuminate the land, the people, and the multifaceted history of the Pelican State. Arranged according to discipline and time period, chapters cover such topics as the environment, the Civil War and Reconstruction, social and cultural history, the people of Louisiana, local, parish, and sectional histories, and New Orleans. It also lists major historical sites and repositories of primary materials. As the only comprehensive bibliography of the secondary sources about the state, ^ILouisiana History^R is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers.
Download or read book Louisiana Place Names written by Clare D’Artois Leeper and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Aansel to Zwolle, with Mamou in between, researcher Clare D'Artois Leeper offers an alphabet of Louisiana place names, both past and present. Leeper includes 893 entries that reveal a distinct view of the state's history. Her unique blend of documented fact and traditional wisdom results in an entertaining guide to Louisiana's place name lore. Leeper considers the origins of each place as well as each name, drawing attention to the individuals who transformed Louisiana from an uninhabited wilderness into a populated state. Not surprising for a region that has existed under ten flags, Louisiana's place names reflect a mixture of several languages and point to other locales across the country and around the world. Even the state's name, Leeper points out, combines the French Louis and the Spanish iana, meaning "belonging to" Louis XIV. Name origins trace back to geography, flora, fauna, religion, weather, people, and occasionally, a flood, a favorite book, or a popular local dish. Leeper conducted numerous interviews, visited courthouses, museums, and libraries, and more recently made use of the Geographic Names Information System to create this fascinating collection of Louisiana history and folklore.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horrible Massacre in Grant Parish, Louisiana: Two Hundred Men Killed; Details of the Occurrence; Meeting of Colored Men in New Orleans; Address and Speeches On Easter Sunday, when the Christian world was chanting anthems in commemoration of the resurrection of the worlds Redeemer, when from every sanctuary the gospel of love and peace was proclaimed, it was then that angels veiled their faces, and devils howled at the bloody and revolting scenes that were enacted on the banks of Red river. When I reflect over this and other unprovoked butcheries I must exclaim, like Jeremiah, in the agony of my soul: "Oh that my head were as waters and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of my people!" The blood of our brethren is crying from the earth for vengeance, but into the keeping of Him who has said "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," I commit the fate of our murderers. When we think over the bloody massacre in this city - how a colored convention was attacked and the unarmed delegates deliberately shot down without cause or provocation - when we reflect how our blood has crimsoned nearly every parish in the State, and with the full facts of this Grant massacre before us, we solemnly ask how long, oh! Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? As it is not my intention to make a speech, others being present for that purpose, I shall proceed to read the following statement of facts, in the form of an Address to the American People Friends and countrymen - Tragic events recently occuring in this State, in the parish of Grant, sending a thrill of horror throughout the land, demand a comprehensive and impartial statement. Our people have again been barbarously massacred by the spirit of slavery, which is still cherished and fostered in the interest of Democracy, under the assumed designation of Fusion. Through its prevalence and popularity we are denied our constitutional rights all over the commonwealth. By means of its powerful sentiment we are wronged and insulted in person, without redress, and are frequently beaten and bruised without provocation or altercation.
