  • 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.

  • Report of the Director of the Mint
    Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1910 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF THE MINT, Washington, January 6, 1911. SIR : In compliance with the provisions of section 343, Revised Stat­ utes of the United States, the following report covering the operations of the mints and assay offices of the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, being the thirty-eighth annual report of the Director of the Mint, is respectfully, submitted: VOLUME OF COINAGE. The value of the coinage executed at the mints in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, was less than in the preceding year, and con­ siderably below the value of the gold deposits. The gold deposits in the fiscal year 1909 amounted to $142,124,941.59 and the gold coin­ age of that year was $120,399,953.35. The gold deposits in the fiscal year 1910 amounted to $126,767,967, and the gold coinage for the latter period was only $47,578,875. The principal reason for not doing more coinage was that automatic weighing machines were under construction which were expected to materially reduce the cost of weighing the individual coins, and pending their completion gold bulHon was allowed to accumulate. AUTOMATIC MACHINES. For a number of years the machine shop of the Philadelphia Mint had been at work developing an automatic weighing machine to do away with the hand weighing of each individual coin produced. The first machine was completed in 1907, was a success, and exhibited at the Jamestown Exposition. About that time, however, the experts who were engaged upon this machine were called upon to build a machine for the customs service, which they were successful in doing, but the task diverted them temporarily from the equipment of the mints.

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.
