Baton Rouge

In 1699, on a high bluff along the Mississippi River, explorer Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur d�Iberville, found the fabled �Red Stick,� a post that marked the line between two Native American nations and gave Baton Rouge, Louisiana, its name. This book chronicles 150 years of the daily activities of Baton Rouge�s residents through images of the city�s growth and development; life during the Civil War, floods, hurricanes, and economic depressions; and people working, playing, and celebrating.
