Best Travel Series of The Year 2006 Booklist
Your travel guide to the land of voodoo, hoodoo, and backwater bayous! Just hearing the name Louisiana is enough to conjure up all sorts of strange visions in ones imagination: haunted Old South plantations, French Quarter mansions, and white marble and limestone towers that house the dead. And, of course, theres Mardi Gras, the most surreal and extravagant celebration in the country. Author Roger Manley (who caught a swamp monster in the bayous behind his familys home) knows and reveals everything about this state of the weird, wacky, and wonderful.
