Lemoyne d'Iberville
When Nellis M. Crouse’s Lemoyne d’Iberville was originally published in 1954, the New York Times declared that “Mr. Crouse’s study of Iberville closes a gap in North American historical biography.” Indeed, this book is the first and only full-length English-language biography of the great leader of French Louisiana, who lived from 1661 to 1706.

He explores the Canadian origins and military career of Iberville and his campaigns at Hudson Bay, upper New York, Maine, and Nova Scotia, vividly depicting all the wrath and barbarity of seventeenth-centu...

Ship Island was used as a French base of operations for Gulf Coast maneuvers and later, during the War of 1812, by the British as a launching point for the disastrous Battle of New Orleans.

A Fierce and Fractious Frontier
Tales of Cajuns, Creoles, and New Orleans decadence dominate both popular and professional impressions of Louisiana and have undoubtedly distracted attention from the region that arguably experienced the most dramatic pattern of development in Louisiana, if not the entire Gulf South. Louisiana's Florida Parishes, located in the southeastern part of the state, have endured a tumultuous evolution, including domination by every major power that invaded North America, exclusion from the Louisiana Purchase, insurrection and the establishment of the original Lone Star Republic, and some of the highest rates of rural homicide recorded in American history. The area was long neglected by scholars unt...
