Slip down the bayous and back alleys of Louisiana history. Some stories speak of tragedy: the whispers of New Orleans vampires, the tortured souls haunting plantations, the horrors of the Thibodaux Massacre. But the twists and turns of Pelican State heritage offer their fair share of revelry as well. Sit on an abandoned dock in Lake Charles, visit the birthplace of Huey P. Long or take a guided tour of the historic French Quarter with our Louisiana history books. [View all Louisiana books]
