THE PAST AS PRELUDENEW ORLEANS 1718-1968Edited by Hodding Carter
A look at the scholarly, the frivolous, and all else that built NewOrleans.
The Crescent City’s rich traditions and present-dayvivacity can be traced to the manner of its founding.Adventurers and settlers from France, England, Spain,Africa, the Netherlands, and the surrounding Americanstates flocked to the city, producing an environmentabundant in heart and creative spirit. Diverse races andnationalities complemented each other as communitiesflourished. Following the patterns of development inthe city from 1718 through the first 250 years of its exis-tence, fourteen components in this topical historyexamine everything that continues to make NewOrleans unique: music, art, sports, and of course thepeople. Faculty and staff members from New Orleans’Tulane University compiled these essays to record thehistory an American treasure.
THE PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OFTHE REVOLUTIONBy Benson J. Lossing
“This rich quarry of historic wealth is now, in completed state, accessi-ble to every American . . . Certainly no work is so well calculated to lurethe minds of the young through the different stages of the great dramaof our independence.” —New York Times
Realizing that people of his generation knew about thebattles fought in their own regions but very little aboutthe battles outside of their area, Lossing considered itimportant to capture that information prior to its beinglost. He sketched landmarks as they existed at the timeof his travels to make sure that they were recorded forthe “admiration and reverence of remote posterity.” Theresult of his travels is this three-volume set, whichincludes in-depth interviews with veterans. Originallywritten in 1852, and referencing all the government andprivate collections available to him, this book, alongwith his engravings and sketches, evocative of the peri-od, illustrates the historical account.
Benson J. Lossing, prolific editor, illustrator, and his-torian, was one of the finest wood engravers of his time.Lossing’s highly sought-after skills and his desire to pre-serve history sent him traveling “with note-book andpencil in hand,” visiting nearly every place made mem-orable by the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.Other books by Lossing include Lossing’s PictorialField Book of the War of 1812 ($35.00 pb [F] each),published by Pelican in two volumes.
