COPY B. : POETICAL JOTTINGS OF THE HISTORY OF LOUISIANA. —f-f — BY CHARLES UAYARPE The following quotations are taken from the History of Louisiana by Charles Gayarre, the eminent writer and historian, and will no doubt prove to be a very appropriate preface to this work, as it will admit a basis of comparison for "Louisiana as it is to-day." After a masterly and graceful preliminary the learned historian said "I am willing to apply that criterion to Louisiana, considered both physically and historically; I am willing that my native State, which is but a fragrant of what Louisiana formerly was, should stand and fall by that test, and do not fear to approach with her the seat of judgment. I am prepared to show that her history is full of poetry of the highest order, and of the most varied nature. I have studied the subject "con amore," and with such reverential enthusiasm, and I may say with such filial piety, that it has grown upon my heart as well as upon my mind.

LSU Libraries’ Special Collections houses items in several collections pertaining directly, and indirectly, to Abraham Lincoln. The sources listed in this column represent a sampling of the library’s holdings. Researchers can find a complete listing of materials – both manuscript items and publications – by accessing the online catalog at www.lib.lsu.edu using the keywords “Abraham Lincoln.” Manuscripts Among the manuscript collections is a handwritten copy of President Lincoln’s letter of August 5, 1863, to General Nathaniel P. Banks regarding military and political activities in Louisiana. Addressed to Benjamin F. Flanders by Lincoln, the library’s copy is part of the Benjamin F. Flanders Papers, Mss. 671, Louisiana and Lower Mississippi Valley Collections (LLVMVC). In early 1863 Flanders served as congressman for the First Congressional District of Louisiana. General Philip Sheridan appointed him governor of Louisiana in 1867; he later held the office of mayor of New Orleans, among other political positions.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.

    A House Divided

    A HOUSE DIVIDED A Teaching Guide on the History of Civil Rights in Louisiana by Plater Robinson SECOND EDITION Southern Institute New Orleans, LA for Education and Research Tulane University © 1995 by the Southern Institute for Education and Research All Rights Reserved, Printed in the United States of America INTRODUCTION “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” -- Abraham Lincoln In an effort meriting the applause of grateful citizens, Xavier University produced the documentary A House Divided to record the history of the Civil Rights movement (1950-1965) in New Orleans. This study guide, prepared by the Southern Institute for Education and Research, is for teachers who intend to use A House Divided as an instructional resource in the classroom. This period in our history is little known by subsequent generations, black or white, despite the fact that participants in that epoch often live nearby. Students of today have little or no inkling of racial segregation as it was practiced and enforced in this city only thirty years ago. This is an unpardonable lapse in memory and responsibility. The Civil Rights period represents the great divide in our city, the divide between the past in which segregation was the law and degradation the rule, and the future in which hope is too often obscured by race, poverty, crime, and fear. It is impossible to understand present-day New Orleans without an understanding of the events which occurred so recently in the city and with such dramatic results. The documentary A House Divided focuses on the years in New Orleans between 1950 and 1965.

    The Celebration Bicentennial Louisiana Supreme Court

    The Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Supreme Court Ceremonies The Louisiana Supreme Court celebrated its 200th anniversary on March 1, 2013. As a special session of court, the Louisiana Supreme Court justices presided over the Bicentennial ceremony, which commemorated the Court’s two centuries of legal heritage. The ceremony took place at the Louisiana Supreme Court’s courtroom at 400 Royal Street in New Orleans. The event was free and open to the public, with the option of one hour of CLE accreditation for Louisiana attorneys. Justice Greg G. Guidry chaired the Court’s Bicentennial Committee, which was in charge of planning the ceremony. Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne was the master of ceremonies. After Lieutenant Governor Dardenne’s opening address, the Washington Artillery presented the colors, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Donna D. Fraiche, President of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Historical Society. Bishop Shelton J. Fabre gave the invocation, and Chief Justice Bernette J. Johnson delivered welcoming remarks to the attendees. Four speakers discussed various aspects of the Court’s history, including A Walk Through the Streets of New Orleans at the Time of the Court’s Foundation, by Tulane Professor Richard Campanella; The Civilian Aspects of Louisiana Law, by LSU Law Professor John Randall Trahan; The Role of the Louisiana Supreme Court in the Early Civil Rights Movement, by UNO Emeritus Professor Raphael Cassimere, Jr.; and The History of the Louisiana Supreme Court, by UNO Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History and Bicentennial Court Historian Warren M. Billings. Students from the International High School of New Orleans took the stage following the speakers to present a short, trilingual play entitled An Uncommon Birth: Shaping Louisiana’s Legal Tradition for Statehood.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
