In Louisiana, Yesterday and Today, three veteran newspapermen examine the history and character of one of America's most remarkable states. This comprehensive, entertaining work will inform natives of their rich heritage and familiarize others with the many sources of Louisiana's special charm.
In concise, thematic chapters, the authors discuss practically every aspect of Louisiana's history. They explore in depth many specific events and eras, including the Louisiana Purchase, the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and the rise of Huey P. Long. Illuminating Louisiana's wonderfully polyglot character, they trace the cultural milieu from earliest Indian days through the French and Spanish regimes into statehood. They tell of the pirate Jean Lafitte and the voodoo queen Marie Laveau, of the state's unique Cajun and Creole heritages, of the legendary red-light district of Storyville, and of the excitement and debauchery of Mardi Gras.
As a bonus, the book provides an incisive look at the state's 64 parishes as it portrays Louisiana's history, population, economy, culture, and outstanding tourist attractions, evincing the diversity -- most notably between north and south -- that characterizes the state. An excellent guide for visitors who wish to learn about Louisiana's past as well as its present attractions, Louisiana, Yesterday and Today will also beckon natives to rediscover their heritage and the cultural wonderland that exists in their own backyard.

Something is different
Size: 0.42 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
Product seems okay, but something has changed about it. Perhaps a different ingredient. Something different about the smell and texture. Still smells good, not greesy, and absorbs into skin like the past products I have purchased, but definitely something has changed.

Sweet Strawberry, Vanilla, Amber, Musk
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a really light, airy scent. The berry stands out, but it’s a soft, sweet strawberry. Even though it’s sweet, it still smells fresh and clean. On my skin, I definitely get the musk, vanilla, and amber, but then there’s this light, fluffy, sugary strawberry cloud that floats over the top, and that’s what I notice the most. It reminds me a bit of Burberry Her, just a little lighter. Since this is a hair and body mist, it’s not as strong or long-lasting as a perfume, but for a mist, it performs well. I get about 2 hours on clothing and a bit more in my hair. I also really like this as a final layer when I’m layering fragrances. It’s especially nice in my hair. One thing to keep in mind is the size. The 1 oz (30mL) bottles are pretty small. They’re great if you just want to try the scent or keep something in your bag, but not ideal if you plan to use it a lot. If you enjoy Burberry Her or even EOS Strawberry Dream, I think you’ll really like this.
