  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • LSU Military History
    LSU’s Military History: 141 Years of the “Ole War Skule” The LSU Parade Ground: 75th Anniversary Chancellor Emeritus William E. “Bud” Davis These remarks by Chancellor Davis were prepared for the Campus Diamond Jubilee, Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, on the occasion of LSU Salutes, November 10, 2001. They comprise a revision of an earlier presentation he made for LSU Salutes, November 13, 1999. here are ghosts on the LSU Parade Ground. You have only to close your eyes, and visions of massed troops Tin World War II uniforms pass in review—and behind them, bringing up the rear, are long lines of soldiers in LSU gray. These images stretch back over a hundred years, back to a distant past. This broad, level field in front of Memorial Tower in the heart of the campus, indeed, is hallowed ground—a memorial to the veterans of this nation’s armed forces—a place of tribute to absent comrades. It is a place where the past, the present, and the future come together in overlapping generations and overlapping memories. The newly erected War Memorial was dedicated in October 1998 in a ceremony that featured former President George Bush and a cast and audience of thousands. It stemmed from the vision of two 1942 alumni, Joe Dale and John Capdevielle. They wanted to commemorate the lives and services of all who had represented LSU in the armed forces in World War II and all conflicts thereafter. The Laborde brothers, John and Lucien (John was winning World War II in the Pacific, while Lucien was landing in Normandy), chaired a committee organized in 1995 to raise the funds and plan the project.
