About this book

The book combines a fine-grain local study of the oldest European settlement in Louisiana, with the story of Reconstruction at the state and national level. It offers a dramatic narrative of political, racial, and personal conflicts, while putting forward an analysis of Reconstruction that challenges current received wisdom.
