The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Volume 23: Folk Art edited by Carol Crown
Plantation Life on the Mississippi By William Edwards Clement
Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Louisiana: Embracing an Authentic and ... By Goodspeed Publishing Co
The Louisiana Field Guide: Understanding Life in the Pelican State edited by Ryan Orgera
Louisiana; a Guide to the State
