Louisiana's Disappearing Coastal Plain

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

For centuries, outlanders have openly denigrated Louisiana's coastal wetlands residents and their stubborn refusal to abandon the region's fragile prairies tremblants despite repeated natural and man-made disasters. This title offers a history filled with new insights and possibilities. Rare, previously unpublished images documenting a disappearing way of life accompany the narrative.
