A sweeping collection of observations and episodes penned by
visitors to Louisiana from the sixteenth century to the 1990s,
Louisiana Sojourns is -- much like the state itself -- a wonder to
behold in its sum, and in its particulars, full of surprise and
delight. The seventy-six pieces that Frank de Caro has selected
give readers a vivid sense of how Louisiana's unique blend of Old
World, South, the exotic, and quintessential America has exerted a
pull and hold on travelers. Included are writings by well-known
figures such as Mark Twain, Teddy Roosevelt, Kate Chopin, John
Steinbeck, Frederick Law Olmsted, Walker Percy, William Faulkner,
Simone de Beauvoir, Henry Miller, John James Audubon, Calvin
Trillin, Zora Neale Hurston, A. J. Liebling, William Least Heat
Moon, and Frederick Turner. Dozens of other wayfarers are
represented as well.
