  • Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives
    MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024 Revised – July 28, 2021 David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives 1 2 PREFACE This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission. The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years. Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision. The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.) The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814.

The album contains nearly 200 original photographs (numbered sequentially at the top), most of which were autographed by their subjects.

For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
