Rita Hill was born in Russia during the time its dictator Stalin was purging the country of possible traitors. During World War II, her family was evacuated to Germany, where they were housed in a refugee camp without bomb shelters. Frequent air raids drove them into the woods that surrounded the camp. Their quest for freedom led them through dangerous war zones, into the terror of the Dresden firebombing, and eventually to a town in the Thuringian Mountains, where they sought to evade capture by the Soviet forces that seemed right on their heels.

Originally published in 1931, Old Families of Louisiana was compiled in response to a demand for a comprehensive series of genealogical records of the foundation families of the state--families whose ancestors settled with Bienville in New Orleans at the time the famous old city was laid out in the crescent bend of the Mississippi River. This book also answers the call for information on those who came to Louisiana when the golden lilies of France, the castellated banner of Spain, the Union Jack of Great Britain, or the flag of fifteen stars and fifteen stripes waved over the land.During the compilation of the original data it became apparent that the present book would be greatly augmented ...
