The Majesty of the Felicianas by Malone, Lee Pdf

East Feliciana and West Feliciana Parishes in Louisiana contain some of the finest examples of antebellum architecture in the country. Before the Civil War, wealthy planters of the region competed with each other to build the most spectacular houses and the most elaborate gardens. Though war and neglect have done their damage, many of the magnificent houses remain, shaded by towering live oak trees and surrounded by broad lawns and lush gardens. Now, master photographer Paul Malone captures the startling beauty of the old homes of the Felicianas in a series of dazzling color pictures, while Lee Malone tells the fascinating stories of the houses in The Majesty of the Felicianas . Some 175 beautiful color photographs reveal the marvellous architecture of the buildings, devoting special attention to the restored interiors and elegant furnishings. More than thirty stately homes are presented, including Asphodel, Live Oak, Wildwood, Parlange, and Rosale. This book can be used both as a guide for visitors to the Felicianas, and as a book for connoisseurs of fine architecture.

A Place to Live in Peace by Evelyn L. Wilson Pdf

A Place to Live in Peace: Free People of Color in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana reveals a community where free people of color lived harmoniously with white people even as slavery persisted. Author Evelyn L. Wilson documents the presence, land ownership, business development, and personal relationships of free people of color in this Louisiana parish. In the last decade before the Civil War, tensions over slavery in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, led to the separation of free people of color from their white counterparts. But until the 1850s, free people of color had lived and thrived there. The free people of color who inhabited West Feliciana Parish were not a settled population with a common background or a long history of freedom. Some entered the parish already free, others purchased their freedom, while others had been freed by slaveholders for differing reasons. Regardless of how they arrived in the parish, they found themselves in a community that valued the talents and skills they had to offer without regard to the color of their skin. These individuals were integrated into their community, lived among white neighbors, provided needed services, and owned successful businesses. Using extensive archival research, including court records, government documents, legal citations, and periodicals, Wilson interprets the lives, experiences, and contributions of free people of color in West Feliciana Parish. The integral role that these free people of color played in the parish complicates common understandings of the antebellum South.

John James Audubon by Richard Rhodes Pdf

John James Audubon came to America as a dapper eighteen-year-old eager to make his fortune. He had a talent for drawing and an interest in birds, and he would spend the next thirty-five years traveling to the remotest regions of his new country–often alone and on foot–to render his avian subjects on paper. The works of art he created gave the world its idea of America. They gave America its idea of itself. Here Richard Rhodes vividly depicts Audubon’s life and career: his epic wanderings; his quest to portray birds in a lifelike way; his long, anguished separations from his adored wife; his ambivalent witness to the vanishing of the wilderness. John James Audubon: The Making of an American is a magnificent achievement.

A Farewell to Justice by Joan Mellen Pdf

Working with thousands of previously unreleased documents and drawing on more than one thousand interviews, with many witnesses speaking out for the first time, Joan Mellen revisits the investigation of New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison, the only public official to have indicted, in 1969, a suspect in President John F. Kennedy s murder. Garrison began by exposing the contradictions in the Warren Report, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was an unstable pro-Castro Marxist who acted alone in killing Kennedy. "A Farewell to Justice" reveals that Oswald, no Marxist, was in fact working with both the FBI and the CIA, as well as with U.S. Customs, and that the attempts to sabotage Garrison s investigation reached the highest levels of the U.S. government. Garrison interviewed various individuals involved in the assassination, ranging from Clay Shaw and CIA contract employee David Ferrie to a Marine cohort of Oswald named Kerry Thornley, who at the very least was a Defense Intelligence Agency asset. Garrison s suspects included CIA-sponsored soldiers of fortune enlisted in assassination attempts against Fidel Castro, an anti-Castro Cuban asset, and a young runner for the conspirators, interviewed here for the first time by the author. Building upon Garrison s effort, Mellen uncovers decisive new evidence and clearly establishes the intelligence agencies roles in both a president s assassination and its cover-up, set in motion well before the actual events of November 22, 1963."
